What would a no-deal Brexit mean? We’re looking at its impact on everything from cars to the economy, Ireland to immigration, universities to retailing. Thread 👇
Britain could lose special access to countries with which the EU has signed trade deals, such as Canada, Japan and Mexico. Efforts to secure new bilateral deals are stalling econ.st/2SRzzkx
A no-deal Brexit will cost Ireland almost 4% of GDP over five years, according to the IMF. It is still unclear how a hard border could be avoided econ.st/2SOyA4t
Carmaking is big business in Britain. No deal would raise the costs of imports and exports, hit demand and make building cars, which is reliant on just-in-time deliveries, difficult econ.st/2E009xv
Nissan and Jaguar Land Rover have already cited Brexit as a reason for laying off workers and cutting investment
The impact on stockmarkets could be limited but the value of the pound would probably fall. Imported goods would get more expensive and inflation could rise, causing immediate pain for Britons econ.st/2E4a70I
The 3.7m-odd EU citizens already living in Britain will have the right to remain, but a no-deal Brexit would leave them with fewer rights econ.st/2SQGpqp
