Pandemic has been a wet dream for Brexiteers. They'll hide the disaster of it under the pandemic.

Never let them lie and remember that we're going to be approx. 3% of GDP worse off because of this joke.

How do you think that 3% GDP reduction compared to the 11% Covid GDP reduction will affect you ?....

I’m not entirely convinced that workers in renowned employment hotspots from Harwich to Holyhead and Hull will be sharing the joy and putting up the celebratory bunting.

Many unforeseen and unintended consequences of a decision as significant as Brexit will evolve over time, driven by market forces. No snake-oil selling politician can possibly predict how the market will react over time.

Hopefully there are some positives amongst them.

I manage commercial property in London, and know of a number of firms relocating to Dublin and Berlin. Not least because fast moving and agile organisations don’t hang about hoping an agreement will be achieved but primarily because it ain’t worth the grief of staying when the majority of their business is with the EU.

Admittedly that’s just my personal experience of seeing a load of people being made redundant from well paid jobs.

Perhaps there is a counterbalance whereby there are an equivalent number of incoming organisations who have seen the wondrous trading benefits that Brexit offers them ?

if they do exist I have yet to receive an enquiry from one.

There’s a truck stop just on the side of the A55 before you get to the port of Holyhead, all of the workers received letters two days ago informing them that as of January 1st they are all being made redundant. HMRC have bought the building and grounds as a base for their customs checks. Another nail in the coffin of the town which has lost thousands of jobs over the last ten years with the closing down of big industry employers such as RTZ and the nuclear power station nearby.
