The impact of Brexit, in charts

How has leaving the EU affected Britain?
www.economist.com www.economist.com

He estimates that by the second quarter of 2022, Brexit had hit gdp by as much as 6% relative to this counterfactual. Using the same method, he reckons that Brexit dragged down investment by 11%.

The effects on trade are a little more complicated. The latest data suggest that Brexit hasn’t had much effect on trade in services at all (though all estimates should come with the caveat that services trade is notoriously hard to measure). But it appears that Brexit had depressed Britain’s trade in goods by 7% by the second quarter of 2022.

It’s happening. Had to take a long cab ride in Southend, deepest Brexit Essex, this morning.

Amongst many other rabid tirades, on all manner of topical subjects, I was treated to full-on Mr Angry Cabbie spitting feathers, on the Brexit con.

We’ve been properly had over mate. I was all for Brexit. It ain’t even stopped the immigration has it. All my mates reckon we’ve been conned.

I had a bloke in the cab the other day, took him to City airport. He runs a big engineering firm in town and they are moving most of their operation to Ireland, as most of their business is with Europe.

I do loads of work for them. Gonna cost me a packet that is. That bloke with the glasses and posh accent is the worst, he just lies about Brexit all the time. Do you think we’d get back in ? We should have another referendum shouldn’t we.

And so it starts, when reality kicks in.

To quote James O'Brien "compassion for the conned, contempt for the con-men".

I genuinely hope they all realise Boris' role in this. Unfortunately hes nowhere to be seen just as reality bites. That greased piglet may come out relatively untainted by it in the eyesof the masses. Infuriatingly.

Nailed it there. I was going to include it in my post.

In my cabbie’s opinion, Mogg is the guilty party, Johnson needs to come back and sort it.

Appointing the top-hatted one as Minister for Brexit Opportunities was a brilliant move to set him up as the fall guy.

Go for it Moggster, lots of TV appearances please, get your message out there.

He...and his fellow travellers...have got as much chance of getting back  In, as we all have at getting Moshiri Out.
