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. cer.eu/insights/cost-…

📺 @JohnSpringford spoke to @ITVJoel about the impact that Brexit has had on the UK economy. His findings: ▪ GDP down by 5.2 per cent ▪ Investment 13.7 per cent lower ▪ Goods trade reduced by 13.6 per cent All figures compared to a 'doppelgänger' UK economy still in 🇪🇺. 1/2

“China’s overproduction is quite staggering at this point,” said @SanderTordoir of @CER_EU. “The number of loss-making industrial firms in China is now at 180,000, which is at least three times as high as in any point in the last 25 years.” buff.ly/472VgAW

Disappointing to hear @theresa_may suggest that EU nationals have somehow been bending migration rules for years – it has been their (and UK citizens') right to move freely across EU & comment does not give due credit to big contribution EU nationals make to UK

"Brexit's supporters maintained leaving the EU would put rocket boosters under the UK economy. It has done the opposite, cutting the size of the economy by over 5%, according to the Centre for European Reform." @Hugodixon quotes @JohnSpringford's research

Clarification re @Jacob_Rees_Mogg + @SteveBakerHW comments on @CER_Grant. “I did not say or imply that the Treasury had deliberately developed a model to show that all non-customs union options were bad, with the intention to influence policy,” @CER_Grant shar.es/1NEYQc
