Brexit will cause problems, but let's not use it as a bashing stick to explain why people are (seemingly)* worse off than last year.

* eg. if you buy a new 'top of the range' iphone every year, that's probably £700+ that you're out of pocket . . .
I don't think it's the only reason insurance companies raise their prices but inflation will push prices up across the board just because that's the nature of inflation.

Many Leavers in the Government would accept continuing payments for single market access so long as they had control of immigration and left the jurisdiction of the ECJ. There problem has never really been about the money.
