[QUOTE="an liathroid beag, post: 7180192, member: 18052"] It’s over. The Brexit debate has finally finished. The Conservative Party – the party in charge of Brexit – have effectively admitted that undoing Brexit would help to fix the UK’s economic crisis. With millions of people suffocated by poverty, and gasping for air, our government is proudly holding our heads under water. February marks seven years since the B-word infected every political discussion in the UK. There’s a reason why it split families and ended friendships. Both sides considered themselves to be saving the British people from catastrophic harm. Why was that? It’s because major politicians and journalists painted Brexit as the way to save the UK from poverty and tyranny under the EU. In [URL='https://www.rishisunak.com/news/why-i-will-vote-britain-leave-eu-0']2016,[/URL] Rishi Sunak told us: “If we leave the EU, we will immediately save £20bn.” Now, his government’s economists say it is costing our economy £100bn a year (4 per cent of GDP).
