As we all know Brexit has not happened yet, however the UK economy already appears to be straining under the uncertainty of our withdrawal from the EU.
Food prices are rising, property prices in London are falling, sterling has dropped against other currencies and large sections banking sector appears to be planning to shift operations to Frankfurt.
Now the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (Niesr) have said that as sterling has plummeted since the vote back in June 2016, has held back the UK economy. Worryingly others nations have accelerated their growth rates.
Niesr economists have said that all of the Brexit turmoil has “almost certainly” cost £600 each per year per UK household.

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.
