BRITAIN’S GDP NOW 5.5% SMALLER THAN IT WOULD HAVE BEEN WITHOUT BREXIT, THINK-TANK CLAIMS
Press quote (The Guardian)
Anyone thinks that I wish to see Brexit fail thats childish talk , as myself and my family all live in the U.K. and want a decent standard of life .

The UK also rejected socialism and embraced democracy when it rejected the EU. I suspect that this is more upsetting for you than Brexit.
It’s lies.
What would we be doing different considering we have more trade agreements than the EU and maintain the FTA arrangements with the EU since we left.
The whole point was to diverge from EU rules that make manufacturing for the UK more difficult because they are mostly EU non-tarrif barriers.
Yup I read The Guardian too, but just because a think tank claims something would have happened, doesn’t mean it definitely would have.
It’s just like the IMF forecasts they never get them right.
Bread I was correcting Strathmore because he said we had ripped them up, but we haven’t. I personally think they’re right not to change them all straight away, but to give it time. I know you and I will disagree on that point.

Why does everything you don’t agree with have to be a lie !
I know the post Brexit trade deals to came into being last month.
I truly hope it will promote U.K. economic growth.
After reading this it would seem there are pros and cons on both sides .
Although it’s still agreed Britain is trailing other G7 countries.

Mine isn’t an opinion in this context, it’s a fact.
I didn’t even bother reading that article it’s six months old.
You really do need to read the full article I posted in post 1527.
This bit is interesting:
This factor played a role in the Australian and New Zealand deals. One reason why these deals have made so little impact is that they were designed to. In order to protect domestic farmers, full tariff-free access to the UK market is being phased in, over 10-15 years for beef and lamb, and over five years for dairy.
Some sort of protection for domestic producers is warranted, both in order to allow them time to adjust and on grounds of promoting security of supply. But not only is the time for adjustment excessively long but it would surely be better to give direct support to farmers rather than blocking out overseas competition.
This is particularly true because those most at risk of losing out from cheaper imports of Australian and New Zealand products are not domestic producers but rather other overseas suppliers to the UK market, principally producers in the EU. As cheaper supplies are admitted to the UK, they will have to lower their prices.
For those who only like reading doom, warning don’t read this article:

Kindly mind your manners .
She is the cats mother
Perhaps your mother was remiss and never taught you any better but it extremely rude to use she in that way .
The only insults here have been from you and Pipsqueak kindly desist.
Hi
I did read it, before you posted it, it was on a newsfeed.
The Telegraph, which is hardly left wing, had an article very different to the Express article.
The Media are not very consistent are they?
I’ve only just lost my mother and take umbrage to you bringing her into your silly off topic posts.
I’m just in the middle of scrolling through The Telegraph and haven’t come across that article yet, so am looking forward to seeing what they say.
Don’t be rude then It’s as simple as that .
Swim I’ve just scrolled The Telegraph and can’t see the article you’re talking about, would you mind posting a link please.
Hi
Nope, sorry, my phone is set to delete things after I have read them to save storage.
This was done to stop me building up storage problems.
The article was basically a rehash of this
Different ways of measuring financial sucess.
Crumbs Swim that’s talking about before 2007 as compared to now and it also states that there’s no way of knowing what effect Brexit has had. Really don’t know what the point of that article is to tell you the truth.
This is an article from Guido:
London remains the top European country for attracting foreign investment in financial services, with 46 projects in the capital receiving outside investment last year, up from 39 in 2021. Warnings that London would plummet down the rankings following Brexit have time and time again proven to be a false alarm, as Paris saw foreign investments fall from 38 to 35 and Madrid drew in 22 compared to 29 the previous year. *Milan came fourth in the rankings.
four per cent rise in jobs created through financial services investment projects proved experts wrong who had previously predicted Brexit would cause a loss of jobs, investment, and innovation to the continent. Economic secretary to the Treasury Andrew Griffith cited “a tremendous track record of attracting the brightest and best companies in the world” and the UK’s “attractiveness as a place to do business” as reasons for London topping the table every year since Brexit. *Don’t trust everything you read on the BBC.
