Brexiteer Hannan reminded of a classic ‘this time next year Rodney’ moment

"Five years from now Britain will be flourishing as never before," the prominent Leave advocate said.

It has been more than five years since Britain voted to leave the European Union, giving us ample opportunity to explore claims by Brexiteer Daniel Hannan that the country should be “flourishing” by now.

Speaking to German broadcaster Deutsche Welle in 2016, Hannan said people would be looking back and asking “why we didn’t do this long before” in an interview, words which he could be made to rue.

Questioned about research that more than one-third of German companies with subsidiaries or branches in Britain plan to reduce investment budgets as a result of Brexit, he said:

“Obviously I disagree with that.”

New research shows foreign direct investment in the UK more than halved last year, casting doubt over ‘global Britain’ ambitions.

There has also been a litany of supply chain and export issues, as detailed below by journalist Paul Johnson.

It seems Mr Harnan has been caught in yet another ‘this time next year Rodney’ moment, a bit like the one below:

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.
