For some reason I think its necessary to say this:

Anyone who's saying that we should stop blaming Brexit for the UK's economic travails knows little about economics.

Certainly, the UK's economic problems pre-date Brexit, but the departure from the European Union has compounded & worsened pretty much every negative trend that the UK suffers from....

To deny this is world-class bulls*t.

@ChrisMayLA6 What do you think of the proposal by Josep Borrell, the former High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs, that the European Union needs to be reformed with fewer but more integrated countries? Do you think the UK would reconsider something like that?

@Lubnadecordoba @ChrisMayLA6 The UK have always been a reluctant partner in the EU. It used to champion a trade zone around the North Sea. Fundamentaly, the UK is not a european power, it is its own thing.

@johnrohde @ChrisMayLA6 It's a shame they see it that way, given the current international situation.
