Those who are continually tweeting that Brexit is going to mean widespread economic misery in the UK are no more likely to be right than those on the other side expecting Brexit to be the start of economic boom times.
If the models are accurate the UK will lose economically from Brexit, but some of this has probably already happened, and the full impact is likely to take years to realise. And may not be noticeable.
The sectoral and regional impacts of Brexit, the impact on public spending and inward investment, may be rather more interesting to see. But I don't see much of a debate going on about the UKs future economic structure.
An all too rare mention of the fact that Ireland's GDP per capita is some way above that of the UK, and nobody much noticed...
More on Ireland - whose exports are now approaching half the value of UK exports. Now there are questions about some of the services exports in particular, but for example Ireland is the EU's largest pharmaceuticals exporter
