"These estimates suggest that by 2025 Brexit had reduced UK GDP by 6% to 8%, with the impact accumulating gradually over time."
New NBER report is quietly devastating about the impact of Brexit on the UK economy.
We need to cut away the drag anchor of Brexit.
We need to rejoin the EU!

Brexit detonated our economy and our politics. Since then, our country seems to have lost its mind, veering off to the right, reawakening the racism genie, ruining itself to try to hide the dishonesty and snowballing damage of it all.
And now Farage could be PM ffs.
Mindblowing self-inflicted idiocy

Two stories you may not have seen this week that would be a big deal in a normal country:
1) The ‘dossier’ detailing the BBC’s editing of the Trump speech literally edited Trump’s speech.
2) The NBER calculated that Brexit’s longer term damage to GDP was greater than originally forecast.
