Rishi Sunak just spent 2 minutes boasting about how Northern Ireland is the "most exciting exciting investment zone on the planet" because it has full access to the UK and EU market...
We are now constantly discussing whether a free* NHS is financially sustainable, after 3 years of the Tories literally stealing billions from the NHS budget via dodgy contracts.
We've all been debating the role Brexit is playing in GDP & trade figures for 2 years now.
But while *we* can PHYSICALLY point to the ways Brexit has made trade more expensive👉🏿paperwork, border checks...
What can Brexiters point to, to say this is HOW Brexit has helped?
It's why they accuse us of being biased with positive data. "#DespiteBrexit"
When we see a positive change in trade and don't accept that it's a Brexit success... That's because it would be nonsense to conclude that having more barriers to trade can ever be a positive for trade.
The most common example will be some big business that sees a positive trend in their EU trade.
Congrats!
Do you know WHY the larger businesses might be seeing a windfall?
Because the additional trade costs have choked smaller ones to death!
