someone I know who is very perceptive about these things said at the time of the referendum that there would be no huge positive or negative effects initially, but that the UK would grow its economy a bit slower than the EU, a couple of percent less per year, but that would continue forever. so initially there wouldn't be any noticeable difference, but after 20 years had passed there would be a chasm.
• The UK economy grew by more than expected in November, surpassing pre-Covid levels. The Office for National Statistics revealed GDP was 0.7% larger than in February 2020.
another bit of great news for the manufacturing sector especially for the automotive industry
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-60066432
this will cement the automotive industry for many years in the UK . see analysis too in the report regarding Brexit
These giga factories will be spread around the UK in the future years too
Also Coventry gets the backing too for a giga factory to create 6,000 jobs which is to be expected really if gets the final nod from the government with JLR in the region which employs close on 35,000 people already which supports 100,000 supply chain jobs in the UK .boom time for the automotive industry for the next 10 years at least

@ swiss pete And under the Brexit deal, cars made in the UK and sold in Europe will soon have to contain a significant amount of UK or European parts
Seriously, can you start willing Cardiff City to get relegated because the truth is frequently the exact opposite of what you say. Correlation and causation blah blah blah, but still. Facts matter.

I'm not necessarily saying it is. Although I do think it will create a more dynamic economy and some restrictions on labour may raise wages in some sectors.
However, you are the one making conclusions. I quote: "to say brexit is good for jobs is beyond laughable."
I'm just saying you are wrong, and to be fair, the evidence suggests you are.
Doucas I work in manufacturing I would say in general UK is on the up in this area there will always be winners and losers
Brexit potentially the game changer in this area for the UK I am seeing more and more companies now relocating back to Britain to support the major OEM's especially in the automotive and aerospace industries .
I,m from an age where I remember Thatcher killed the manufacturing industry here in the UK so i despise that woman with a passion .Her policys meant alot of industry moved out of the UK or closed down . It appears Brexit is having the opposite effect in the manufacturing sector .
I can't speak for any other industry like banking and finance for example maybe Brexit is having an opposite effect ?
I've shown a damned sight more evidence to demonstrate that Brexit isnt a disaster for jobs, than you have shown to demonstrate that it is.
Doucus: "Chelsea are shit lol"
James: "Hang on, they are third in the premier league and have won multiple trphies in recent years. Look, here is the league table"
Doucus: "Show me some evidence that Chelsea aren't shit"
James: :facepalm:
But you haven't shown any evidence of what I asked. I asked you to show me evidence of how brexit is good for jobs, you haven't done that you've just shown unemployment rates. You said yourself correlation doesn't equal causation so come on, give me this rock hard evidence that brexit is good for jobs. I mean you must have some surely as you're a supporter of it?
The above example does nothing but make you like the fool this entire messageboard knows you are old man.
Yeah, I know. It's just that I was wondering whether you were trying to claim this as a Brexit good news story, given where you posted it?. Where as, in fact, it is an investment of taxpayers money partly needed to overcome a barrier created by the Brexit deal.
It is a good news story, but it is not a Brexit good news story.
This is a very fair point by Swiss Peter.
I think the thing for me is we were told that everything would be a disaster. We were told by people in London that people in Sunderland were idiots for voting to destroy their car industry etc.
The reality?

Personally my issue isn't to paint brexit as sunlit uplands. It's to be rational with it and view it as an opportunity, which it plainly is. After any seperation you can be bitter and look back or you can positive and look forward. The latter is ALWAYS the best option.

A 'Benefits of Brexit' report is to be issued.
Fair play. This should put those of us that think Brexit is monumentality stupid properly in our place.
The PAC not impressed so far it seems;-
