Of course, all comparisons were UK vs EU and GBP vs EUR. For GBP vs EUR, you just need to change the dates of xe.com link in the comment I replied to (past 10 years instead of a strategically chosen start date). The pound today is much weaker than 10 years ago against the euro. For inflation comparison you can check the ONS or https://data.oecd.org/price/inflation-cpi.htm https://data.oecd.org/price/inflation-cpi.htm . You can see for yourself that UK has performed worse than the eurozone for the entirety of the past 10 years. On shortages, I’ve just been told by both my child’s paediatrician and his GP to stockpile certain medicines because they experience shortages on a daily basis, medicines disappear for weeks, such as the chicken pox vaccine. Calpol was nowhere to be found today, I may have more luck tomorrow. I can’t send you a picture of the Sainsbury’s I’ve just went to, but I had to go to Tesco to buy milk. I’ve never experienced anything like this, the closest thing I can think of is This War of Mine or the siege of Sarajevo.
