RISHI Sunak has insisted Brexit has “nothing to do” with the UK’s ongoing cost-of-living crisis despite figures showing the UK’s economic outlook is worse than similarly sized countries.
Speaking during PMQs, the Prime Minister was challenged on the impact of leaving the EU after the UK marked the three-year anniversary of Brexit.
“Let’s be clear, taken together 2022 and 2023 are expected to be the worst years for living standards since the 1930s and the economy is expected to perform worse than sanction-hit Russia," Stephen Flynn, the SNP's Westminster leader, told the PM.
