There's a whole load of ripple effects going back to 2016 1st the currency devalued by 30% 2nd Investment in UK Plc fell like stone also many international companies started relocating headquarters into the EU The figures I've seen are the economy is 10% smaller than it would have been if we voted yes in 2016 in real terms that's around 250 billion the 100 billion is just Brexit shock as our economy and trading shrinks By the way that 100 billion would generate 33 billion in tax the 250 billion 82 billion in tax and people wonder why taxes are so high

Because sending people to a concentration camp in east Africa is inhumane

No we don't that's just spin from the Ultra's who want to distance themselves from the car crash they've inflicted on the economy If your referring to the removal of all regulations no one in their right mind would sign up to full open border globalisation and Hedge fund Britain, the gammons are repeatedly beating their chests about migration as it is

@rinaa6865 try reading the FT instead of comics like the Express Bloomberg Reuters FT have all published numerous articles on the UK economic decline because of Brexit How stupid do you have to be to think that destroying the on demand supply chain and erecting huge trade barriers with a market of 430 million 20 miles away wouldn't lead to a severe economic contraction

@rinaa6865 I didn't use the Sun because all it bangs on about is migration same with the Mail If you extrapolate the measures and budget put in by Brown the economy would have been 15% better off by 2019 these are what ifs in the end we ended up with Austerity causing economic stagnation a deliberate lack of regulation on the emerging low wage zero hour gig economy which saw a massive influx of EU labour with little to no macro economic benifit and the rise of UKIP leading to 2016 At that point our currency devalued by 30% and large scale international investment ground to a near halt

@davidbond5448 one group voted to kick out Johhny foreigner from stealing thier jobs and women and wanted state aid to level up another group believed in the delusional idea of a deregulated global Britain. Both ideas are at complete odds with each other you can't have both There is no atyipical leave voter it was always a miss mash of contrary wishes and ideas

@stephenrichards5386 When you say EU - UK trade is up take away North Sea oil and gas and exports are down by 14% So if your a North sea oil and gas producer that pays no tax then hey the sun is truly shining

@stephenrichards5386 Every report I've read has shown exports in goods and services have fallen by between 14% - 22% Export of gas has jumped up by a large margin the underlying economy is contracting.

@stephenrichards5386 The Russian economy is screwed exodus of 1.5 million workers Plus conscription plus sanctions You can keep a zombie economy going for a while with currency reserves but Russia is not the USSR by a country mile it can't even service its own oil wells properly it used to import oil engineers. The UK economy is highly service based those services have been bleeding away since 2016 in drip drip fashion. The economy outside of London and the south east has large numbers of SME's with integrated supply chains into the EU and used to export a lot of product. For small traders that business went overnight when we left the imposition of draconian levels of paperwork has reduced exports and also had a big effect on the supply chain which used to operate on-demand throughout Europe with turnaround of 1/2 days that's morphed into weeks if not months in some cases. Large scale investment to replace say car plants will no longer be made in the UK and a large slice of any economic recovery is done by SME's who are handcuffed at every turn. Onto energy Germany has pivoted away from Russian gas which it was a customer to the tune of 40% building a new LNG terminal and making structural changes to its energy policy and the UK government has done sweet FA Onto the US they will invest 1.75 trillion in green energy initiative pivoting their economy away from fossil and also relocating key industries to the US Compared to the UK government which is zero on renewables
