Summary
Five years after Brexit, its promises of sovereignty, economic gains, and reduced migration remain unfulfilled. While Brexit offers regulatory flexibility, its overall impacts are largely negative.
The UK economy has suffered a £100bn annual output loss, with GDP 4% smaller than it would have been without Brexit.
Trade barriers have reduced exports, particularly to the EU, with small businesses and sectors like agriculture and fishing hit hardest.
Migration has surged to record levels, but net EU migration has turned negative.
Public dissatisfaction is high, with 59% believing Brexit has gone poorly.
Which is why spreading public lies with the intention to mislead the public should be a criminal offence.
If they were selling any physical goods, that would be a fraudulent misrepresentation. I don’t see why the bar in politics should be any lower.
It should be a hell of a lot higher, but the people with the power to change it are the only people who would be punished, so…
Not disagreeing with you here but I think this is THE action to push, as much as everyone is able to.
