So far Brexit looks to have cost the UK between 4-6% GDP per capita, with the negative impact continuing to compound as GDP growth remains weak compared to similar countries.

This chart should be shown each time Nigel Farage tries to make out its been a success (or if not, its not his fault). Brexit was clearly his project, its clearly cost the UK dear (in economic terms) & he should be reminded of this fact continually & publicly

@ChrisMayLA6
And yet the person that sold such an act of national economic harm will be the same person that a significant proportion of Brits will vote for at the next GE.
1) He's a talented scammer if he can pull the same con twice.
2) The big money and the insidious network of technocrats, and thus the media, are now all behind ReformUK Ltd and their next big scam.
3) Around a third (the magic number, it appears) of the votership is ignorant and gullible enough to fall for his narrative.

@ChrisMayLA6 @MostlyTato as creating collapses like this are part of an Epstein plan, maybe it is time to call Reform the Epstein party and those who might vote for them Epstein supporters?
