I'd put good money on if all 1+ million EU migrants left the UK today you'd not see any change in UK house prices. The squeezed middle would still be dependant on the state.

The UK will continue to have a need for hairdressers and shelf stackers. Local folk either don't have the skill or desire."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

The more I listen to Brexiteer discourse, the more I understand that they are wilfully blind to the documented weaknesses of the British economy and its relative standing in the world, either through psychological denial or ignorance.Hard Brexit now!

Are you suggesting that the UK is rational but the other 26 countries aren't, sounds like what a patient in the "funny farm" would say
We haven't torn anything up. Yet. What we are saying is we want to trade with European states in the same way other non European states do. Instead of rational negotiation we have the likes of the Slovak pm saying we must be worse off for leaving. That's fine. If they want to act like an abusive ex then go for it. But they can't expect us to continue to be civil at the same time.Comment

No he's not saying that the UK should be worse off than any other non-European states. He's saying the UK shouldn't have as good a deal as a state which allows the free movement of people.
and no it's not an irrational position. It would be irrational for Slovakia to allow the UK to be able to attract inward investment for non-EU companies wanting to export to the EU whilst barring Slovakian people from working there. If the UK doesn't get a good deal, Slovakia will get more inward investment and create more jobs. That is a perfectly rational position.I'm alright JackComment
