Reaction as EU poised to lock Britain out of its banking market

Or in other words, the consequences of Brexit unfolding in an entirely predictable way.

Following news that London has been dethroned as the primary trading hub of Europe, Bank of England governor Andrew Bailey has warned that the EU could be poised to lock Britain out of its banking market in a move that could see the cost of finance soar.

Addressing city chiefs he said there are “signs” that the bloc could “cut the UK off from itself”, resulting in the “fragmentation of markets”.

Pro-Brexit newspaper The Telegraph has warned of serious repercussions for ordinary people in such an event as interest rates surge, insurance premiums go up and everyday financial products get impacted.

Businesses trading across borders, which have already been severely hit by a barrage of red tape, could also be dealt another blow as expensive currency deals become the norm.

Reaction to the news has been one of bewilderment on social media as people wake up to the realisation that London – once the financial capital of the world – has become a “hostile third party nation on the doorstep of the single market”.

London was the financial capital of the world. It was central to EU banking, lending, stocks..and the rest.

Now, as a hostile third party nation on the doorstep of the single market, it’s a competitor.

It’s no wonder many EU cities are trying to become the new London.

Brian Cox also sought to clarify how the UK has ended up in this position, while others re-wrote The Telegraph’s headline to better reflect the reality of the situation.

Let’s tell it how it is. The EU are not locking us out. The Government, by interpreting Brexit as ‘keep them foreign’s out’, dumped us out of the single market and customs union, thus kneecapping half our industry and probably breaking up the U.K. https://t.co/xTaphWbpNz

Er, I’ve re-written the headline for accuracy:

“Britain locks Britain out of EU banking market in entirely predicted consequence of the way it chose to leave the EU.”

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
