This was an extract from a City forecast ipublished n the Guardian today.
"Analysis from Citi estimated the UK economy would be between 2% and 3% smaller in 2024-25 than before the pandemic, with Brexit causing a deeper scarring effect than Covid."
“The scarring just because of the pandemic may not be as large as we thought last year. The scarring due to Brexit may actually be larger,” said Christian Schulz, the bank’s director of European economics.
“Brexit is casting a long shadow over the economy.”
The gaurdian would be saying that wouldn't it. They have been anti brexit from the start, and of course the current mess is not suiting their middle class metropolitan elite readers, and as such they will be jumping on the bandwagon and telling their readers what they want to hear.
But brexit for most was about levelling up and now without a mass cheap imported workforce, finally our low paid workers in the hardest jobs are starting to get recognised for what they do and rewarded accordingly.
Brexit was never going to suit me and as such I didn't vote for it, but I do think it is working out pretty well for many who did.
And is their really a workforce shortage, 1.2 million job vacancies and 1.3 million out of work. Jobs in transport, warehousing, slaughter houses, food processing, hospitality, agriculture need to become a lot more attractive.
