BREXIT CENTRAL

Andrew R T Davies (an economist) has written a piece for Brexit Central (HERE) where he rails against all the delays in triggering Article 50. The abstract for the piece says this:

"Nobody said Brexit would be easy – the European Union was designed to be extremely difficult to pick apart".

But this is one of the remainers biggest gripes. We WERE told it would be easy.  He goes on in the article to say:

"Despite Brexit: unemployment fell again this month to 4.8% – a far lower rate than the EU average; consumer spending rose by 4.2% in September; and we now know that Britain will have the fastest growing economy in the G7 this year (although you wouldn’t necessarily know it if you had a quick scan of the Twittersphere…)".

Remember we are still in the EU, Article 50 has not been triggered and we are still burdened by all the EU regulations. It will be fascinating next year and perhaps also 2018 when the economy slows and unemployment rises, to see how Mr Davies will explain the apparent conflict of the UK doing well inside the EU and then doing much worse after Article 50 is triggered.
