Original Note:
This post is misleading. There is zero evidence to suggest that Brxit has cost 4% GDP. The OBR published a forecast a few years ago suggesting that in the long term GDP could drop by 4%. This was based on a fall in exports to the EU, which hasn't happened https://iea.org.uk/publications/has-brexit-really-harmed-uk-trade-countering-the-office-of-budgetary-responsibilitys-claims/
