European push to take in UK contractors

Not all doom and gloom. I suspect the IR35 changes will be resisted by the Private Sector, especially if there is a hint they will need to offer employee benefits.
Brexit will no doubt involve a lot of work.
There should be no more Tier 2 Visas (although I have my doubts with some agencies) and eventually migrants get absorbed in the host country and will expect to share the spoils like the natives.

That is before any other market conditions come into play in the next few years, go which Brexit seems the most obvious.

My guess is it will all change come April 2019.
Make the most of it while you can.
