Brexit and Future of UK : Discussions
- Thread starter Vergennes
- Start date
On the day that the Tory Leader of the House was forced to apologise for saying the people who died in Grenfell did because the were not as clever as him, a day when the Tories are caught doctoring a video, a day when the prime minister refused to release a report into Russian interference in our democratic system, on a day when the Tories try to use the independent Treasury civil servants to cost Labours promises, on a day when the Welsh Secretary resigns over the sabotage of a rape case and on a day when the Prime Minister launches his election campaign with a speech that had 3 lies in the first 2 minutes - you casually ignore this. Are you full retard or just an actor spurting shyte to troll?
The Tories have fudged up Brexit in the last 3 years plus putting party before country - yet you home in Corbyn?
The likes of you are taking this country down. You should move away from your little box room and instead of looking at others for flaws - lok in the mirror. It aint pretty.
Jog on.
It's the EU, they're complaining that the people are interfering with their elections.
All non-Muslims are the enemy of Islam in their book, so this isn't news.
Brexit already costing more than UK's net contributions to EU over 47 years
The cost of Brexit has already been predicted to hit £200 billion this year - totalling more than the UK has paid into the EU over 47 years.
Figures from a House of Commons library document puts the UK's net contribution to the European Union and European Commission budget since 1973 at around £177 billion.
By contrast the expected hit is estimated by Bloomberg to cost £200 billion by the end of the year - with a £130 billion hit having impacted the economy before Brexit has even happened.
The analysis by Dan Hanson, a UK economist for Bloomberg economics, expects Brexit uncertainty to continue to take a toll on companies and consumers by the end of the year.
And while the expert predicts that tax cuts and increased borrowing in the forthcoming budget will give a "growth spurt", they predict it will be a "one off" which will be unable to make up for ground lost since the EU referendum.
"Looking beyond 2020, we forecast the growth spurt in this year will be a one off -- the economy will get a shot in the arm, but the cyclical lift that provides won't last," he said.
"As the UK comes to terms with its new trading relationship with the EU and grapples with the productivity challenge that has hindered growth since the financial crisis, the annual cost of Brexit is likely to keep increasing."
Twitter users noted that the figure Hanson quotes is now more than the sum total of the UK's net contributions to the EU over 47 years.
Net contributions take into account - but is not limited to - payments that the UK gets back including payments for farmers, poorer areas, and payments to the private sector for things like research grants.
Anti-Brexit campaign group Best for Britain tweeted: "Brexit clearly costs more than staying in the EU. If you're a Brexiter, the economic argument to Leave simply does not exist: not in the short-term, and not in the long-term."
"That is an insane fact," said Caitlin Moran.
Derek James responded: "When 'Project Fear' becomes 'Project Fact'. And we haven't even left the EU yet!"
"These are turning out to be extremely expensive blue passports!" wrote another.
