Brexit opportunities....
After advertising for a head of the Brexit Opportunities department, which will apparently discover all those previously undiscovered benefits of Brexit; the Government is now recruiting more staff for the unit.
It tells you everything you need to know about Brexit that the Government has to create a whole department to identify benefits that should have been calculated before even asking for a referendum. But even if this department finds any new benefits remember the economic damage of Brexit was calculated with a formula which was basically- damage minus benefits equals cost of Brexit.
The answer, the lose of 6-9% of the UK economy’s future growth has not changed and includes any benefits from new trade deals or cutting standards or red tape.
For Brexit to be merely harmless let alone better for the UK, this unit needs to find brand new ways of boosting growth by 6-9%, which could not have been achieved inside the EU.
Good luck.
