What impact has Brexit had on the UK鈥檚 economy?
Brexiteers argued it would mean freedom, independence and a chance to reforge the economy. On the other side, campaigners said it would be damaging to business. Who was right?
In 2016 Britain voted to leave the European Union. There were warnings that pulling away from the largest trade bloc in the world would be damaging to the UK鈥檚 finances. Those that campaigned for Brexit argued it would offer the UK self-determination and the freedom to forge its own trade relationships.
Who was right?
This week on The Inquiry we attempt to disentangle the numbers from the complications of the global pandemic and the war in Ukraine and ask, what impact has Brexit had on the UK鈥檚 economy.
