To summarise: Brexit hasn't happened yet and the UK has gone from the fastest growing of the industrialised countries to the slowest growing - and that in a booming world economy. The pound has lost a substantial chunk of its value. Yes there is full employment but since productivity is abysmal and one the lowest in the G7, those seem to be bottom feeder jobs, due to lack of investment.
I can't wait till Brexit proper.Hard Brexit now!

I believe that the chancellor of the exchequer has given a definitive answer on this matter, which is that it is not the case that Brexit has damaged the interests of this country.Comment
