  3. What major British banks are still there? London was a hub for non European (and Swiss) banks to conduct their bushiness in the EU. Now London lost this function.

  4. A Norway style Brexit may have been different. UK remains closely aligned with the single market (so, copy and paste EU laws in UK law) and accepting the four freedoms, by that, still having full access. Fisheries and agriculture would be exempt (like Norway). No custom Union, so it can negotiate its own trade deals (like Norway). Wasn`t really possible due to Freedom of movement was such an issue, as well as "making our own laws"...
