This comment intentionally left blank, so that the Brexiteers can gather the available data and list the benefits of Brexit.
I do hope that’s the case Clamp free movement is a must we are apparently 4,000 GP’s short owing to the fact they left to return home after Brexit, today I tried to order a specific dehumidifier but it’s not in stock any where in the UK.
My nephew ordered a guitar part from Europe a couple of weeks ago when it arrived it included £70 export/import duty
It really has impacted massively on my cousin he has a very successful business in Malta he lived in the UK but also has a holiday home in Switzerland, his two children one lives and works in Paris while the second is attending university in Germany.
Before Brexit my cousin would fly out from the uk Monday returning most weekends, in the uk was a subsidiary of the Maltese company that his wife managed, they found after Brexit this became unmanageable so decided to sell up the uk operation and home they moved permanently to Switzerland to continue commuting to Malta, While his daughter has become a French citizen, only his son I understand intends returning to the UK upon completion of his studies in Munich.
Now I know this quite an unusual family but the effects of Brexit has split forced them to closed a uk business and relocated to different countrie, moving the tax out of the uk, the uk business didn’t employ many but a few have lost a job no one has come out of this well

No, no we haven't.
If you remember JRM went from 'taking back control' to 'an act of self harm' without even pausing for breath
And of course implementing the checks to 'take back control' would mean even higher prices on imported food, the corresponding increase in inflation, and more empty shelves in the supermarkets so we have that to look forward to next year now. Brexit, the gift that never stops taking

Let's not talk this great country down.
Under Jeremy Corbyn....
I see the 'vote remain' vote has now crossed the 70% rubicon.
Fancy that.

The easy solutiom is this: rejoin the EU and tell Brexiters to list down all the benefits and alll the things they'd miss or enjoyed while being outside the EU and tell them they can still have them when we we rejoin

My suspicions were raised when I read the Executive Summary. It had a clear, unswerving agenda and had selected only the data that the authors thought support that agenda. That Executive Summary is riddled with erroneous conclusions - from their own data. For instance, it cites similar economic data in - some - EU countries, and presents this as evidence that Brexit has not influenced the similar UK data. Non sequitur. That conclusion does not follow. The fact that the authors don't realise this, is made all the more amusing by the very first line of the mission statement:
'BriefingsforBritain (originally BriefingsforBrexit) was founded in response to a widespread media view that all sensible and informed people opposed Brexit.'
You won't find any objectivity in that article. Have you read their mission statement? Christ.What impact is Brexit having on the UK economy? - Briefings For Britain

when we are back in the customs union and single market, will you still post using this account?
Or, to use another sea based analogy, when the tide goes out you can see who's been swimming naked. I reckon there's a pair of shorts on the beach with a " JC Football Genius" name label in the back, stitched in by mum.
