Boris Brexit the biggest Bollox of them all.
Brexit really does mean Brexit. If you erect trade barriers, trade will be harder. If you gut the workforce, there will be fewer people to do necessary jobs. If you leave a club, you can no longer enjoy the perks of membership.
The U.K. is still further below pre-pandemic crisis GDP than most major economies Since the U.K.-EU free trade deal came into force, the decline in trade volumes means Brexit is on course to cause a 4% reduction in the size of Britain’s economy
Brexit has exacerbated a crunch in the U.K. labour supply. 200,000 European nationals left Britain in 2020, pushed away by tougher immigration rules and the deepest economic slump in three centuries. That’s helped to trigger staff shortages in sectors such as hospitality and retail, which have historically relied on EU workers, and led to empty shelves.
More than 400 firms have relocated functions to various EU cities
Brexit has been a drag on growth. It brought new red tape on commerce between Britain and its largest richest and closest market, and removed a large pool of EU labour from the country on which many businesses had come to rely. The combination has exacerbated supply chain shortages, stoked inflation, and hampered trade.
