Er.... more FAKE NEWS. This fake media news really needs a gagging order. It's the only way they'll learn. Perhaps Nigel can make a special arrangement.

I'm sure the resident Brexiters will argue this is somehow good news.

Nice set of crystal balls these guys have.....

Also seeing as most of these people only take jobs for 2-4 years why are they harping on about 5 years?

Wasn't it those that had most to gain from a Bremain?

The Brexit vote is already having a negative impact on business, a survey of bosses from some of the UK's biggest companies has suggested.
Market researcher Ipsos Mori found 58% of respondents said their firms had suffered since last June's exit vote.
Nearly a third of respondents thought the referendum had not made any difference, and 11% felt it had been positive.
More than 100 bosses of FTSE 500 firms responded to the survey.
"Unfortunately, it looks like business in this country is already feeling the pain of the economic upheaval of leaving the EU," said Ipsos Mori chief executive, Ben Page.
"According to respondents there is no sign that this is likely to ease this year, with two thirds saying they thought their business situation would get worse in the next 12 months," he added.
Two-thirds of the chairmen, chief executives and other directors who responded thought that their business would be worse off after the UK left the European Union.
Meanwhile 45% of the 114 FTSE 500 bosses surveyed expected to feel a negative impact in five years' time.
However, 32% said their business would start to feel the positive effects of leaving the EU in five years' time.
Most of the business leaders (96%) who responded said they were confident their company could adapt to the consequences of leaving the EU.
More than half of them (54%) said the most important thing for the UK to obtain during exit negotiations was the movement or access of skilled labour.
In order for businesses to be successful post-Brexit, 86% of executives thought the most important factors were cutting the amount and complexity of regulation, and keeping it easy to recruit staff from the European Union.
