Meanwhile, the energy crisis has also exposed existing problems within the UK's economy, according to the chief executive of the Learning and Work Institute in the UK, Stephen Evans.
"So, we have been facing a similar hit [to Europe in terms of COVID-19], but off the back of a much-weaker post-pandemic recovery," he said. In response, workers have been pushing for increases to their pay packets, prompting nationwide strike action when their demands are not met.The wage issue was cast into sharp relief this month when workers took industrial action almost every day, across a range of sectors.
"The post-pandemic labour market feels pretty weird overall … We've got this situation where we've got record vacancies, we've got employers hiring at record rates, but employment is still 300,000, below pre-pandemic levels, where, in most other advanced economies, it is above pre-pandemic levels," Mr Evans said.
It's all their past Karma coming back to them.
They can at least sell back what they stole to balance the budget.
and its because of 3rd world immigration and a corrupt government
We all know why
Will be worse soon once previous colonies start asking for reparations 😂😂😂
It's a race to the bottom for many countries, unfortunately.
And now they are just doing the dirty jobs for the USA, like blowing up the gas pipelines!
Like in Australia Thatcherism/Reganism fails long term and rots a country
Karma strikes back
Britain should restart the opium trade with China which made Britain rich last century.
Thanks to immigration
I see this article as being linked to the bombardment of indigenous articles ABC are pushing out. I see you ABC.
Go woke, go broke. Ah the diversity and enrichment ay? Just love it 🥰 Britain is now a 3rd world slum, because that’s what they allowed in to the country 🤣 see Germany, see Sweden, see France .......... they are all fucked now.
What happens when you take on welfare for the rest of the world
Throughout History Empires have collapsed eventually.
If only there was a market on their doorstep they could gain free access to
Liz Truss sent message to Putin 'It's done!'
One more country controlled by the minority, Australia you aren't far behind wait till they start getting there hooks into this once beautiful country.
Mass immigration and exporting control to foreign bodies like the EU and UN. We're headed in the same direction.
Go woke go broke
All by design
It's working to plan
Britain is a failed state, its people unable to remove an unelected government and an unelected head of state with no written Constitution too weak or too partisan to intervene.
UK is getting what it deserves. Karma. it plundered so many countries during colonial era. including slavery and mass killings.
Well they have been trying to destroy the culture of the inhabitants by flooding the country with illegals for a while now. So not surprising.
Britain has foolishly adopted Green Left politics. Boris Johnson guided by his woke wife & his foppish pub school boy naivety was helping to destroy Britain's base load energy security while also allowing country shopping illegal migrants. The place needs Nigel Farage. UK
Tony Blair has done a nice job of turning the UK into Europe's Somalia. 2nd place: Trudeau's Canada. Enjoy!
Australia will be next. Poorly regulated immigration of entitled races that hate working and Burdon the tax payer is bound to drown any country
They were defeated in Gallipoli, so bad.
“Diversity is our strength”. 🙄
Opening the floodgates to economic migrants will destroy any nation
They should have listened to Enoch Powell.
Because it’s gone green and woke.
That’s what happens when you over populate with the scum from the third world
Thanks to Brexit
. Aussie workers have had WAGE DECREASES for almost 20 years. 'Uninterrupted economic growth' has increased profits for business owners. Aus labour laws have prevented workers from sharing in the wealth our national systems create for business. .
At least they still have all they stuff they Liberated from other cultures to remind them of their past, stashed in the Tower of London And museums,,,,which these days even the Common folk are permitted to visit.
Wow and all under Right wing conservatism rule. Who woulda thought. They never recovered from Thatcherism.
. By design. It's romantic to think of nations as the collective people. Those days are gone. Globalisation, by design, makes the workers of richer countries poorer while lifting the poorer nation's workers. Of course, the wealthy have an even bigger bucket to fish in. .
Lol 😂
But Brexit was gonna make them stronger. 🤣
UK was a colonial power ruling India n Pakistan Now UK is being ruled by an Indian That is how bad the country is
It is over populated and the Torys have been in power too long.
too many unskilled migrants r coming to UK They use up healthcare n welfare budgets Many towns up north r truly deprived with few jobs
Most western countries are on the same path. They are just ahead of the curve
Empires rise and fall it's been like that for much of human history
JoaoOctaviano1 With the highest praise!
Maybe the comments are symptomatic of Britain's incapacity to understand itself.
That’s what voting for incompetent tories and brexit does for you
The UK destroyed themselves, lost industries due to militant unions, bad immigration policies, and the list goes on, then Brexit was the last bad choice.
open borders and mass illegal immigration and woke green energy policies have destroyed not just the UK but Europe
Import the third world, become the third world.
one word: brexit. they did this to themselves via a pompous, undying, colonel blimp attachment to the notion that they’re the born to rule among nations. turns out that entire states can become senile. there’s no way back for them
It's not sinking, it's attached rocket packs and turned them on full.
A silly headline and not one mention of Brexit in the article. ABC journalism going further down the toilet.
How interesting that the biggest, ugliest, most self-inflicted elephant in the room - Brexit- isn't mentioned once in this article.
Well, this is what happens when you import the third world over and above all other considerations. See *Rome.
Lockdowns and neverending debt are responsible
My ancestors migrated to Australia when Britain ruled the world in the 1800s. Many were driven here by policies, such as the Enclosure Acts, designed by the rich to deliberately keep the poor impoverished. I don't think anything has changed in the UK since then.
They did it to themselves with BREXIT. Europeans will never treat Brits the same.
Yes they ruled the world, colonisation,pilfering from other countries&slavery,then after that industry was halted,textiles,shoe factories, etc,working classes came to & end,then brexit, another smart move.
if the UK gets its way..........its united no more
decline of traditional family values over population simple
I thought that diversity is a strength? Given how diverse the UK is, especially London, why are they in decline?
The notion of ruling the world is illusionary. Unless its cabal or 1%..
Wow, bunch of racists here on the comments
That’s what you get when you let in Rubbish
whoever made the bed now lie on it
Sigh, conservatives. They've pretty much got everything they have wanted for more than 40 years and we're all the worse off for it.
The British Minister Prime has an Indian name. I thought Britain colonized India or is it the other way round?
The great reset continues.
A brown becoming PM is biggest downfall in Britain's history
