Brexit Erased £140 Billion From UK Economy, London Mayor to Say

Just think of all the trade agreements Britain has made now that it can independently negotiate! Why, the FTA with Australia alone increased GDP by checks notes 0.08%. Wait, that can't be right. Surely the British public weren't misled about any of this?

And you can have those deregulated pillows you've always dreamed about.

Its funny because they started it from a conservative trying to prove the people wont do it. Said conservative then resigned when people went ahead and did it.

My bootlicking family, who insists “we got our country back” but refuses to elaborate when I ask basic questions such as “from whom? How? What has materially changed?”

Nigel Garage made it to third place in I'm A Celeb. There are a lot of thick flag-shaggers out there that still have their head in the sand.

Legislation, paperwork, border checks and tariffs make it more expensive and difficult to transport stuff to the UK. Companies importing from the EU pass on the higher cost of transport to customers. Customers now pay more for the same thing because it costs more to import.

EDIT: Should also mention that this applies to stuff made in the UK too. I doubt there's many industries that don't use anything from the EU for raw materials. If you make a widget with German steel, you still pay for that import even if your widget is made in the UK. That cost gets passed on to customers too.

If you have a car worth 20k and you total it into a wall, those 20k don't go into someone else's pocket, that value is just gone.

Brexit is the wall, the UK's economy is the car.

You are thinking about economy as a Zero sum game, but that's not how economy works. Even if there are people that make money when the economy is down, that doesn't mean they make as much as others have lost. If they did, the economy wouldn't be down, it would merely have shifted.
The fact that economy is NOT a zero sum game, is kind of a corner stone in how EU works. We all benefit from being able to trade with each other on equal terms.

The fact that UK is doing as poorly as they are, kind of proves the idea is right. You can be against EU for ideological reasons, but being against it for economic reasons, make little sense. And the Brexit campaign constantly hammered the idea, that despite all reason, UK would somehow benefit economically from Brexit. Anyone who believed the Brexit propaganda were conned.

The ones that might gain from this, are the filthy rich, who are working on undermining UK welfare and general conditions for middle and lower class people, to exploit the population more for their own gains.

Dude. The UK broke its trade deals and left. Now it pays increased taxes on all goods and services from the EU.

Some were paid off, others kompromized. Brexit was a pootin endeavor.

You don’t need a percentage to make that number meaningful. That amount of money would nearly fund the US Navy for 1 year. They operate multiple nuclear aircraft carriers and submarines.
