"By 2025, Brexit had reduced UK GDP by 6% to 8%, with the impact accumulating gradually over time. We estimate that investment was reduced by between 12% and 18%, employment by 3% to 4% and productivity by 3% to 4%"

This is a fabulous read. The figures might be specific to the USA, but the principle applies wherever neocapitalism has been applied. Read it, and feel it in your bones.
Mike Green is writing some amazing stuff at the moment. It's not in the delta, it's in the level and the cost structure. Read this and you will understand Angrynomics on a new level: www.yesigiveafig.com/p/part-1-my-...

The data shows Brexit was a massive mistake and badly hurt the economy. We're all paying for it. It was Nigel Farage who sold the lies that it would make life better. How can anyone still listen to him about anything?

The UK asylum/refugee system has been broken for over a decade and never explained by the government to the people so it is fundamentally both broken and misunderstood

Seriously how did anyone expect making access & sales into the EU27 (& EFTA4) much more difficult, without making it *equally* compensating easier to access & sell anywhere else (it's not in UK's sole gift to), going to do anything else other than fuck over & contract the UK economy?
