Re: Brexit 2: Happy Halloween
Ooops. https://www.businessinsider.com/brex...s-to-eu-2020-1
Brexit is likely to have cost the UK more than £200 billion in lost economic growth by the end of this year — a figure that almost eclipses the total amount the UK has paid toward the European Union budget over the past 47 years.
According to research by Bloomberg Economics, the cost of the UK's vote to leave has already reached £130 billion, with a further £70 billion likely to be added by the end of 2020.
...
That means the British economy is 3% smaller than it might have been if the UK had not voted to leave the EU.
Figures from the House of Commons Library put the UK's total projected contribution to the EU budget from 1973 to 2020 at £215 billion after adjusting for inflation.
That means the combined cost of Brexit since 2016 is likely to soon eclipse the total cost of the EU's budget payments, which were a central part of the Leave campaign's case for Brexit in the first place.
After Prime Minister Boris Johnson's election victory in December, the UK is set to leave the EU on January 31. But business confidence and investment has dipped, and annualized economic growth has fallen to about 1% from 2%.

As an indication of how irrelevant the UK is, the change happens at the stroke of midnight in Brussels, 11pm in London.Originally posted by Kepler View Post
Nothing actually happens of consequence. The UK is no longer part of the EU parliament and some other procedural changes, but the transition period continues until 31 December. No matter what Brexiteers say Brexit is not done. It won't even be done 1 January 2021. There is still the slight matter of trade deals and the like, which will take the better part of this decade.
The big change is that UK citizens will be stripped of EU citizenship in a few minutes. I can't wait until we start seeing Brits on Twitter complaining that when they go on holiday they no longer have access to the expedited service afforded EU citizens and they need to wait in line like the rest of us.Comment
