“In an interview with the Sunday Times to celebrate his success as “Britain’s most successful businessman”, Ratcliffe said: “What’s the reason to invest in the UK? Our skills are not great. We’ve got to deal with unions. We’re isolated from Europe. We’ve got logistical costs. Low tax rates help, but cheap energy could really help create those manufacturing jobs we need.”

If we can ditch the EU and ditch the pointless Carbon taxes and meaningless "Global Warming" tariffs, and have cheap energy, we will be laughing.

Still nothing concrete. Come on Brexiters, isn't there anything that is demonstrably good for the economy?

Yorkie may need to pay an extra 10% for his car.

Yorkie believes that rising GDP is a valid measure of “the economy”

The first component of GDP is private consumption.

Therefore, Yorkie paying an extra 10% for his car is good for the economy.

Q. Who gets the extra 10%? Assuming of course that I even have to pay an extra 10% for a car that is faster than a Porsche Macan

Under a No Deal situation, ultimately the UK Government. It's effectively a UK import tax, set out in the UK WTO schedules - the importer pays the tariff, and the consumer (you) pays the importer. So not only have you helped to increase GDP, but you're also contributing more to help us pay for ferries and lorry parks.

Good so you agree that the extra import tariff, assuming I actually have to pay it as my contract is with a UK company and not SEAT, is a boost to the UK economy because the government will have the extra cash the import duties generate.

On your only measure of GDP, yes.

Swings and roundabouts though - you no longer have that 10% to spend in the High Street, and the government now has it to spend on bungs to the DUP.

Typical brexidiot logic.

There’s so many things wrong about this.
I’ll highlight the simplest..... Money the government has DOES NOT BOOST THE ECONOMY. Quite the opposite.
