    The #Budget18 has upgraded growth forecasts for 2018 growth from 1.3% to 1.6% #DespiteBrexit ! And despite rising risk of #wtobrexit ! Brexit can’t be bad!

        Careful Bernard. All of that increase was actually from increased public spending. And the real impact of Brexit on UK growth is serious (⬆️). For Brexit to be a success it has to unlock really significant increases in investment and growth which means business confidence.pic.twitter.com/G4N7gCGlMu

        Bad enough to mean we've gone from topping the G7 growth tables before the referendum to vying with Japan and Italy for last place since. Despite the upgrade we're still trailing the US, France, Germany and Canada. Even pro-Brexit economists accept the vote has had an impact.

        Brexit will be hard. There will be winners and losers but overall I believe the UK 🇬🇧 will do well out of Brexit. Let’s just get in with it and stop the political posturing @BrexitCentral #Brexit

        Bernard, most remainers say Armageddon will occur on leaving the EU next March. Try telling them about growth, and they will never believe you! World trading is out, due to their narrow minded views. We will possibly 'starve'. Their 'tiny' world revolves around the EU only!

        That is right Bernard. The more I think about no deal (although I prefer Canada+++ or IEA's PlusA+) it has many advantages in terms if it just being good to go, easy for business to understand & does not have to get through Parliament which is hostile to Brexit

        democracy happened and it voted to Leave, Parl seems to not want to deliver on it, so I know, being a democrat, what I favour.

        Toby. We are a parliamentary democracy. Every one of those MPs is democratically elected. The Referendum of course cuts across that, one of its many problems. But mainly No Deal may be straightforward but it’s also utterly destructive and will create chaos at our borders.

        Well Ben, I think no. It's dead easy to fill our the custom forms/declarations to trade with various parts of the world outside of the EU, to which the vast majority of the world know already. It's not a new system that is being created.

        Now hang on. You need to look into this a bit deeper. Nobody stops us trading with the World now, Toby. Brexit means scrapping many existing trade arrangements and gaining no new ones.

        EU stops us trading on our own terms. With the WTO & Bilaterals, multilaterals & plurilaterals, all which the EU prevent us from negotiating can start (being formalised & signed) the day we have left. We can do better than sclerotic EU.

        Tell me why you think we are able to negotiate better deals alone than as part of a big bloc. What is the secret? My own life experience is that if you want to buy stuff, generally you will get a better deal if you are buying in bulk. How can we do better as a single country?
