Brexiter Tory is lampooned after blaming economy on B word

John Redwood, for it is he, is one of the most brexity of Brexiters.

He tried to become PM once as well, a terrifying thought.

So what B did he blame for the mess we are in now?

Nope, not Brexit, the Bank of England.

Liz Truss was banging on about the left-wing economic establishment yesterday as well.

Somehow the Bank of England are now some socialists renegades, determined to bring the Tories down!

He tweeted: “More economists should ask how the Bank of England landed us with 10% inflation, five times their target. Why did they think printing so much money and keeping rates near zero would keep prices down?”

Yes! And how did the BoE land Germany and America with similar levels? How did they make gas prices go from 40p a therm to 400p, the bastards?

It's because they are lefties. All bankers are lefties; they are well known for it. Lefty, woke, pinko Trots.

Short answer – because 2 years during Covid and then with the start of the energy crisis the Chancellor demanded it and the Government voted for it
Pointless gaslighting John we know who demanded it, we know who's mates profited from it – and we know many billions were wasted

More Brexiters should ask whether a decline in the value of the pound by around 20% since the referendum, along with dramatically increased import costs, could possibly have contributed to inflation…

I think a period of quiet frickin' reflection might be in order, mate.

Are they all part of the left wing economic establishment, John?

The inflation we have is a result of increased food and energy prices mainly. Yes, its true the bank printed too much money, but strangely this was the case elsewhere too. Why are we suffering more than most? Brexit maybe? I don't expect an answer.

More economists should be holding Tory politicians to account for the Brexit economic disaster. I am sure they produced Brexit impact statements – did you read them? Why weren't they shared with the electorate BEFORE they voted in the referendum ?????

Why do you continue to pretend, while saying in one breath it's all down to Ukraine and the pandemic, then it's the fault of the BoE?
Oh and of course, it's never anything to do with government policies, including BREXIT.
