Brexit to send UK tumbling down world economic league table, worrying new analysis shows


http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk...-a7495411.html

Folks voted for this. It was all known prior to 23rd June.

Shame that Big Sam has just signed on at Palace, this sounds like a job for him!

Who cares?

Blimey, that crystal ball is getting a lot of use to now predice 2030. Do they know next week's lottery numbers?

Exactly.
We were all told that we would be worse off if we left the EU
So why is anyone surprised
Thats what people voted for

When it comes to long term modelling Kate Moss has a far superior record to the CEBR.

In summer 2008 they forecast house prices would rise 30 per cent over the next couple of years - they actually fell 20 per cent. Apparently they claim to have certainty about how sterling will perform up to 2030 - really?

Beware anyone who starts forecasting what the world economic position is going to be like in 2030 - many of these groups rarely get the next 12 months right!

Change a few assumptions and you will get totally different results.

Speculate! Speculate! Speculate! the same people who never saw the 2008 crash coming, the same people who predicted in the immediate aftermath of the Brexit vote that the economy would sink without trace. Until negotiations are completed and that is a long way off no-one knows what the outcome will be ahead.

But feel free to continue quoting a one sided view of Brexit, personally I'll follow the negotiating path and more importantly make my judgement on facts which will only become clear when that time arrives.

Everyone on both sides can judge for themselves if they made the right choice, whether what they were told was true or lies, people were given the opportunity to examine all the advantages and disadvantages how staying and leaving affected them individually and even how it affected the company or sector they worked.

This is just the "international business community" trying to punish us for not bending to their will. They are nothing more than a modern-day mafia. They will not win. We will win.

Oh dear, never mind........ Now where's the mince pies.

Your assets have already suffered a 20% depreciation

Never mind

Tumbling briefly due to the drop in the value of the GBP and Brexit uncertainty then after Brexit rebounding back up due the economy growing faster than other nations. Even according to the article France will be lower in the league table by 2030, and I would expect by 2030 Germany will also be lower than the UK.

Quite how Brexit is to blame for the predicted rapid growth in economies like Korea, India, Brazil I have no idea.

If an American wants to buy them they will pay 18% less in $s, if someone from the EU does they will pay 10% less in €s. The seller would all other things being equal gets the same number of £s as before.

Except of course for everything we import

Only to eighth, bargain

Seconded!

It has to be said that the ones in my mum's cupboard have turned out to be spectacular and have been 'tumbling down' the gullets of visitors.

I wish the size of my belly would suffer that level of depreciation!

Far too much food consumed this Christmas!

On June 23rd make sure you vote to REMAIN in the European Union.

I hope we don't get relegated.

I thought 'TheEngineer' might take a break for Christmas, but alas no.

Project Fear just keeps on giving.

The sister in-law made her own, quite a bit smaller than normal, very tasty and I have found I can get one in each cheek without anybody noticing.

He did for one day - but the South Pacific island deputised with 3 similar threads.

For many Brexit proved profitable for many holding shares.

Well done you! Few remaining here, mostly flaky, it has to be said.
