    We haven't had brexit yet. We've lost inward investment, jobs have moved abroad and UK companies have wasted a lot of money planning for the unknown, but as yet we're still in the EU. Maybe this is why the economy is still holding up We'll only really know the true impact of brexit once we leave, although the signs are not good hence why even those who promote brexit are too scared to pull the trigger

      Said by people like the CBI. Who predicted catastrophe if UK did not join the Euro.

      Which is damaging is no decision. We should either stay or leave with no deal. Anything else is bad.

        Actually the CBI didn't predict catastrophe if the UK didn't join the Euro, they simply said the benefits outweigh the dangers.

        This is the actual opinion of the CBI on joining the Euro:

        Speaking at a CBI dinner, Mr Turner said there were dangers associated with joining the single European currency, but stressed that overall benefits would far outweigh them.
        BBC News | The Economy | CBI urges business to back euro

        i.e. they said there were dangers in joining the Euro as well as benefits,.

        What they didn't say was not joining would be a catastrophe.

        The doom laden predictions of the CBI on the Euro is a myth.

            The cause of all this debt is the result of ultra low interest rates and stupid easy credit. Nothing to do with political spectrum.

            Although an incoming government will always lure voters for votes with some financial bait, it's been that way since forever. Truth is taxes need to increase.

              That's where you are wrong

              You have a large bunch of nuggets living off daddies income and lording it over other people at the new labour cheese n wine evening.

              The old labour supporters realising they need to fit into the new labour movement suddenly realise that they are not being properly recognised by Cressida and Tarquin and this has led them to not be invited to the vegan BBQ - obviously the new labourites are most upset by this social slight and so start to try to social climb

              and then get into debt.

              Hope this helps clarify the situation
