    OK now show me a graph that actually involves Brexit. This is not comparing apples to apples. Only an idiot would buy into this.

    The UK GDP fell off a cliff after the Brexit vote. So yes we may have had a unexpected difference in the GDP after that, but this does not deflect that Brexit has been massively damaging to our GDP.

    UK GDP per capita in dollars: 2015 - 45,071 2016 - 41,146 2017 - 43,306

    So by 2018 we had lost $2000 per head in the country. It is recorded that the wealth gap in the UK is now larger after Brexit than before. This means this has more of a significant impact to the poorer than to the rich. This does not count for inflation which is running wild. It does not count for the difference in energy costs which are affecting the UK more than our comparable in the EU, which Tories love to show a comparison to. What they never explain is that the likes of Germany, The Netherlands and France are also trying to recover from the affects of Brexit. Their economy would also be so much better off. Brexit did not just hurt the UK alone.

    My earlier post spoke of the twisted narrative that is spouted from the Tories trying to corrupt thinking in the UK. You sir, are it.
