New analysis from the H of C Library :
Brexit is costing the UK up to £90bn a year in lost tax revenues.
Economic damage since the 2016 Leave vote has resulted in the UK’s GDP being 6-8% smaller than it could have been.
The average Briton has seen a hit to GDP per head between £2,700 and £3,700.

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.
