I asked the top 4 LLMS if Brexit was bad for the British economy.
They all said yes.
The OBR, Goldman Sachs, Bank of England, LSE, IMF and more.
Have all published studies proving Brexit was bad for the British economy.
Yet the right on X are still in denial, they are economically illiterate and can’t accept when wrong.
It is not a true single market though.
Europe could be a world power like it has been its whole history.
Unfortunately the right seeks to divide us though.
Germany's Chancellor Merz:
It is not as though we are only dependent on America, China and others. The reverse is also true.
With 450 million consumers, Europeans have one of the largest single markets in the world.
Please do not underestimate our own capabilities, and please do not underestimate how dependent others are on us.
Why do they always talk about the problem but never give realistic solutions?
Why do they say ‘cut tax and reduce the welfare bill’ which is super unpopular at the ballot box and will decrease gdp through lower consumption.
Why not just say the politically popular solution of rejoining the EU?
Remember the headlines about the UK becoming poorer than Mississippi, America’s poorest state? UK GDP per capita reached roughly $57,600 in current dollars, edging past Mississippi’s $55,100. For the first time in years, Britain is no longer poorer on this metric.
Before your celebrate though, the crossover is almost entirely an exchange-rate story. The dollar fell sharply in 2025 by roughly 9–11% on the broad index after the chaotic April tariff announcements and retaliation. Sterling gained about 8% against the dollar. This mechanical translation of UK output into more dollars accounts for nearly all the jump from $53,300 in 2024 to $57,600 in 2025. Strip out the currency move, and the real gap has not closed meaningfully.
Mississippi still has lower living costs, stronger real household income growth recently, and a more flexible labor market. The UK’s edge is fragile and reversible if the dollar stabilizes or strengthens.
UK growth per person has lagged the US for years, with structural problems intact:
- Chronic under-investment. Business and public investment as a share of GDP has ranked near the bottom of the OECD. Cumulative shortfalls since 2000 run into the trillions of pounds. High costs for business and slow, expensive planning make new capacity costlier and slower than in the US.
- Housing and planning constraints. Restrictive planning and high land costs keep housing scarce and expensive near high-productivity cities. This limits labor mobility and traps workers in lower-output regions.
- Energy costs. Industrial electricity prices remain among the highest in the advanced world. Grid constraints, planning delays, and policy choices make energy to expensive for industrial production to expand meaningfully.
- Productivity stagnation. Market-sector total factor productivity has been weak since the financial crisis and barely recovered post-pandemic. The US has pulled further ahead on productivity and technology adoption.
- Fiscal and regulatory drag. High public debt, frequent tax changes, and compliance costs raise the hurdle rate for private investment. Employer National Insurance increases and other rises have squeezed margins further.
None of these are new or fixed by a weaker dollar. The 2025 ranking shift does not show the UK has solved its growth problem relative to the United States. Quite the contrary, the US keeps running ahead while the UK and the rest of Europe stagnate.
Wow leavers are incredibly kind.
By this logic we get to keep £36 billion in net profit all to ourselves.
A £60 billion boost to the treasury- £34 billion cost of rejoining.
Even if it were true that still means a net profit to the treasury after the economic benefits.
The treasury loses around £60 to £70 billion a year from Brexit trade friction and loss of investment.
🚨NEW: Bow Group analysis finds it will cost £34Bn per year to rejoin the EU

Shouldn’t the right want a right wing EU?
Crazy to me why the right has also wanted Europe weak and fragmented.
A right-wing/further Right coalition is on course for a coalition in Spain's snap elections.
Le Pen leads all Presidential polls for April's election.
There is an attempted coup in Poland from Tusk right now.
Meloni is leading Italy further right.
And the AfD are now topping ALL polls in Germany, Presidential election next year, Federal in 2029.
Could Burnham and Labour have timed their pitch to rejoin the EU at a worse time for themselves? How do they sell THAT EU to their voters.
Incredible incompetence.
It is actually super worrying that still 35% of people would say no.
We have a breadth of statistical data ashowing brexit to be a bad thing.
Our population remains statistically illiterate,
🤩 WOW 🤩
@andyburnham says he will not move ahead of the British public on Europe.
Well, look 👀 at this.
🚨 New Ipsos polling finds 56% would vote to rejoin the EU and just 30% would vote to stay out.
Remove those who don’t express a choice and the result is:
🇪🇺 REJOIN: 65%
🇬🇧 STAY OUT: 35%
🚀 That’s a 30-point lead for rejoining.
73% of under-35s want to rejoin.
54% believe rejoining would improve Britain’s economy.
53% believe it would improve our national security.
Chinese wages for car manufacturing are 90% lower than in Germany.
Micheal here proposes regulations are the problem, the solution?
Cut wages by 90%?
Yes this is the thinking of the prominent Brexitir.
German carmakers face their deepest structural crisis ever. Just look at their profits. Chinese competitors have eroded the high-margin Chinese market that long subsidized European operations, while Chinese brands gain share in Europe and other markets. Development cycles, cost structures, and software capabilities favor China. High German energy costs, rigid union-protected labor costs, and European plant overcapacity compound the problem.
Volkswagen is preparing cuts of around 100,000 jobs. BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and Audi have announced or are negotiating substantial reductions. The multiplier effect is brutal, each job cut at a major commonly ripples to as many as five supplier jobs. Tier-1s suppliers such as Bosch, ZF, Continental, and Schaeffler, plus hundreds of mid-size component makers, are already shedding tens of thousands of positions. The pain concentrates in Germany’s industrial heartlands, impacting communities and real estate.
This is not only an automotive story, machinery, chemicals, electrical equipment, and other export-oriented sectors face the same Chinese pressure from faster product cycles, lower costs, and state-supported scale. Surveys show a quarter of German industrial firms already feel outmatched by Chinese rivals in Europe, and the bilateral trade deficit with China heads toward a new record above €100 bn. The industrial model that underpinned German prosperity for decades is under simultaneous strain at home and abroad.
Neither industry nor politics has a real answer. German overregulation, bureaucracy, and rigidity make necessary adjustments almost impossible. Good luck, Deutschland.
Why do they block me or just outright refuse to debate me?
Because they are statistically and economically illiterate and they know it.
I’m a nationalist.
I want Britain to be as strong and powerful as possible.
You can’t be a nationalist and be against rejoining the EU.
He hasn’t even read the studies by economist think tanks proving Brexit has cost our economy 6-8% 🤦♂️
Am I surprised? No, he clearly thinks that his X post is more compelling than a study done by the OBR.
Raises questions to why he has such a big account with hundreds of thousands of followers.
Seriously, doesn’t the UK’s openness under the new government to deeper EU ties or eventual rejoin, look strategically odd in late 2026? It is framed as hedge against US unpredictability, Russia, and China, yet it risks higher costs and less flexibility inside a strained bloc. They have called Brexit more harm than good, floated a customs union, single market, or “going all the way,” and said they want to rejoin. Full membership would mean free movement, net budget contributions, regulatory alignment on Brussels’ terms, and almost certainly no old opt-outs. “Welcome back” comes with conditions, not privileges.
The deeper issue is Europe’s condition though. France is the flashpoint, debt near 120% of GDP, a deficit around 5%, bond yields that have exceeded 5%, and rapidly rising interest costs. Political fragmentation and a 2027 election that could elevate Le Pen have markets pricing in continued dysfunction. A French debt crisis would hit and destabilize the eurozone quickly. Belgium and Italy would be the next debt contagion points. Spain, with its mass unskilled migration approach, would follow.
Germany’s export model is impaired by high energy prices, bureaucracy, and Chinese competition, with growth near stagnation only thanks to debt-fueled state spending while the real economy implodes. Euro-area growth forecasts remain around 1%, well below the US. An incomplete single market, high tax-and-spend ratios, and heavy regulation deter firm scaling. Europe lags the US and China in AI because of capital, energy costs, and the AI Act. Talent and entrepreneurs continue to leave. Why go the opposite way?
Europe still has a large market and institutional depth. The question is whether the marginal gains from deeper entanglement outweigh lost autonomy and imported bureaucracy and fiscal risk. In an era of energy volatility, Chinese overcapacity, and AI-driven divergence, selective deals would capture trade and security benefits without importing the bloc’s growth and fiscal constraints. Joining a mess does not make it less messy.
Here we go another unfunded promise
Gambling is not evil, and a Restore Britain Government will reduce taxes on the industry.
Adults should be free to make their own choices about how they spend their own money - a wild thing for a political party to say, I know.
Britain has a successful gambling industry that supports local economies all over the country.
In my constituency alone we have horse racing, a greyhound stadium, plenty of arcades and more.
We should be encouraging responsible operators to thrive, not taxing them into dust.
Problem gambling is an issue and should be properly addressed. But punishing an entire industry, costing thousands of jobs, for the actions of a very small number is not the answer.
Restore Britain will back British gambling.
Europe is so far behind on its economy and technology.
Yet no one actually wants to solve it.
They just want to talk about immigrants.
The right still don’t get it.
Seriously sit down and think why do all right win politicians turn pro immigration when they take office?
Because you have no choice with a low birth rate.
Something they just can’t accept.
