Former Liverpool FC chairman describes Brexit in the bluntest way possible

“Making it difficult to trade with your biggest market is a dumb thing to do", Sir Martin Broughton said.

The former chairman of Liverpool FC put across his devastatingly blunt description of Brexit during an LBC interview today.

Sir Martin Broughton was responding to a Nick Ferrari question on whether Britain remains an attractive place to invest post-Brexit.

A recent report from the Peterson Institute for International Economics found the split with the EU has reduced UK trade openness and foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows, concluding that new border frictions and higher transport costs pose new barriers to trade.

The institute found FDI inflows are unlikely to return to levels reached in the 1990s and 2000s under New Labour.

Commenting on the business environment, Sir Martin said: “Making it difficult to trade with your biggest market is a dumb thing to do.”

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.
