@archivehistory_: What brexit actually cost the UK #brexit #ukpolitics #eu #History #uktiktok Five years after Brexit, the numbers are in: the UK's Office for Budget Responsibility estimates long-run productivity is down 4%, with independent researchers at the Centre for European Reform putting the overall GDP hit closer to 5.5% — a gap worth well over £100bn a year. Trade has taken a similar knock, with the OBR projecting UK goods and services trade will settle around 15% lower in the long run due to new customs checks, rules-of-origin paperwork, and sanitary inspections at the border. That friction has hit household budgets directly too — LSE researchers found these trade barriers alone added about 6% to UK food prices between late 2019 and September 2021, costing the average household roughly £210. On top of the economic side, freedom of movement ended in 2021, so UK citizens lost the automatic right to live, work, or study across the EU without a visa, and the UK also left the Erasmus+ exchange program for the smaller Turing Scheme, which doesn't fund incoming EU students. Estimates on all of these figures vary by source, and some economists dispute the size of the productivity hit — but the broad direction of the data is consistent across studies.

los nacionalismos no traen nada bueno.Aqui en España hay un partido político,Vox, que en su ideario político está sacar a España de la UE ...y les votan 5 millones de nacionalistas españoles que a su vez odian a los nacionalistas vascos y catalanes . ..En Reino Unido el partido político que ganó este referéndum es exactamente igual . Ahora al Reino Unido nadie lo tiene en cuenta,su economía va fatal y tienen más emigrantes que nunca .🤷
