Longer term, the UK is continuing to suffer from poor productivity and reduced trade with its largest trading partner, the EU. Tackling these may not prevent the short-term slide but will help the country's economy in the longer term.

MY view too. We don't have a mortgage and do have some savings but we are on a fixed income which at the moment are keeping our heads above water but I am so worried about those who are struggling already.
