I think your assertion that the UK economy has shrunk since the 2016 referendum is incorrect but if you can link evidence to the contrary I'm happy to stand corrected!  |
Maybe my terminology is misleading. Here's copy/paste of my post above
Latest CER estimate: the UK economy is 2.5 per cent smaller than it would be if Britain had voted remain. The knock-on hit to the public finances is £19 billion per annum – or £360 million a week.

Take it or leave it, these economists are a pro - Europe think tank. I would listen to them more than to Prof Patrick Minford and his crew, who as a Vote Leave economist, brazenly stated that Brexit would mostly eliminate manufacturing in the U.K. - and that we shouldn't be concerned about it
