honest question \o/
Probably had a little bit of an effect, growth was sluggish before the 2016 referendum and remained so afterwards. I'm sure you can find reports from EU funded think tanks showing that all this sluggishness is down to Brexit, but I think they're over-egging it. The UK remains a desirable place for inward investment, especially in tech start-ups.

Germany is the biggest loser, the uncertainty seems to have really hurt its export industries. Netherlands probably gained the most as some orgs relocated from UK to Amsterdam. France and Italy remain basket cases - for reasons nothing to do with Brexit. The fall in sterling really made my holiday to the US expensive, but I still enjoyed it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Europe has an unstable economic model. Pretty much everywhere does [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

MPs have rejected a proposal to examine Boris Johnson's Brexit bill in the Commons in three days.

The Commons supported the Withdrawal Agreement Bill earlier, but have now voted against the short timetable.

Earlier, the PM warned he would seek an election if MPs dismissed the plan and the EU granted an extension to 31 October Brexit deadline.

After the vote, he told the Commons he would "pause" the legislation until the EU had "stated their intentions".

Those treacherous snakes in Westminster don't know how out of touch they are with public opinion, and while the BBC/Sky News can attempt to minimize the damage it's a real blow for what was once "democracy"

I'm sure we'll leave the EU "soon", soon like Velious was released ;p

How does leaving the EU actually help Britain? Also, just invade Ireland, they speak English anyway. I’m really tired of Scotland, Wales, and Ireland pretending they didn’t get dunked on by the Saxons

I think it will help us because:

1. All of our laws will be made by politicians that have been elected by UK voters;
2. People in the UK generally understand to a reasonable degree how laws are made in this country;
3. We will have £14bn a month cash to spend in the UK rather than sending it to Brussels.
