If Labour thought remaining within the EU was so important then maybe they should have campaigned a bit harder to get a "Remain" vote.

The Grauniad has assumed its role as the Fail of the left, thereby completely wrapping up the market in the hard of thinking. Take the maximum possible cost, don't subtract any benefits, and then downplay the main conclusion of the original article, namely that we should leave the CU.Originally posted by scooterscot View Post

So he's saying 1-1.2% GDP in the long term I. E. Off where it might be as opposed to where it is now. If that's all then money well spent.Originally posted by scooterscot View PostComment

I'm not too bothered that Labour have asked these questions but they are questions that have to be answered and they show some of the scope of Brexit. If the Ministry can't answer them and haven't even considered some of the points then it's going to be a long hard Brexit...“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

Unemployment in the EU remains stubbornly high. Except among former EU Commissioners.
The Brief: Barroso Commission for hire – EurActiv.com
This is what we are leaving
Unemployment in the EU remains stubbornly high. Except among former EU Commissioners.
They can’t stop taking up job offers, no matter how embarrassing or uncomfortable it makes life for their previous paymasters.
In the last two weeks, there was outcry over ex-Commission President José Manuel Barroso pocketing a payslip from Goldman Sachs. Former Digital Commissioner Neelie Kroes – now on the board of Uber – also forgot to declare her directorship of an offshore firm while in her post.
The latest Commissioner to take the corporate shilling is ex-climate chief Connie Hedegaard.
It was announced this morning that she had joined the international sustainability council of – drum roll please – the Volkswagen Group. Yes that VW, of Dieselgate fame. You know, the emissions test cheats.
The Commission today could only say that the obligatory 18 month cooling-off period that Commissioners must observe before taking a job had been respected.
But officials privately admitted the timing couldn’t have been worse, as anger rises over Brussels’ ‘revolving doors’.
To be fair, only Kroes has broken EU rules. Hedegaard and Barroso (even though he was told off) are guilty of nothing more than thoughtlessness or bad judgment.
Yesterday, Commission First Vice-President Frans Timmermans said transparency was vital to regain citizens’ lost trust in the EU.

The UK's likely future now:-
- A full blown Sterling Crisis as early as later this month or November.
- Interest rates will have to go up dramatically to shore up the Pound.
- This will tank the economy and cause a long overdue house price collapse of up to 50%, possibly more outside London, over a period of 2-3 years.
- An embattled Tory Government will dig in it's heals in Europe, claiming its a new "Battle of Britain" or some hogwash and the result will be trade tariffs on UK good and services adding to the misery.
- During this period many multinationals will leave quietly and the UK will struggle to attract investment and face a balance of payments crisis.
- It's likely that following this there will be unprecedentedly deep cuts to public services and/or a sovereign default.
- At some point a bankrupt UK government will have to introduce exchange controls on the currency."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment
