It appears that the Government's Office for Budget Responsibility has the diametrically opposing view to yourself
Impact of Brexit on economy 'worse than Covid'
The impact of Brexit on the UK economy will be worse in the long run compared to the coronavirus pandemic, the chairman of the Office for Budget Responsibility has said. Richard Hughes said leaving the EU would reduce the UK's potential GDP by about 4% in the long term. He said forecasts showed the pandemic would reduce GDP "by a further 2%".
"In the long term it is the case that Brexit has a bigger impact than the pandemic", he told the BBC.

Well, since he's changed his tune from three months ago, your last sentence seems very apposite. But - this is not the place for a B debate - it would be entirely inappropriate, so I'm out. If I ever want to wander into the confirmation bias ridden world of that thread, I would (but I shan't).It appears that the Government's Office for Budget Responsibility has the diametrically opposing view to yourself

Well of course, you wouldn't want to go anywhere near THAT debate. It's now been negotiated, signed off and it's documented and factual and not just a matter of opinions anymore.
But this thread certainly thread isn't the place, even though you raised it here. I'll see you over there
