Showing Original Post only (View all)Worse than feared': Brexit to blame for 33bn loss to UK economy, study shows [View all]
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-cost-uk-gdp-economy-failure-b2246610.htmlBrexit has cost the UK a staggering £33bn in lost trade and investment, according to a new study that found that the economic damage is even worse than previously feared.
Research by the Centre for European Reform (CER), shared with The Independent, shows that Britains economy is 5.5 per cent smaller than it would have been if the country had remained inside the EU.
The UKs goods trade is 7 per cent lower and investment is 11 per cent lower than it would have been had the Remain campaign won the 2016 Brexit referendum, according to the think tanks analysis.
The UK had the best deal in the whole EU, but "national pride" was worth screwing themselves for too many. Bravo, you wankers. Keep voting for thr Tories.
