brexit is and was and will be a total disaster. brexit is doing the economy real damage.k would not agree that brexit is a disaster, and however it is described, based on available evidence, this is what we know about brexit and the economy. in 2020, then prime minister borisjohnson agreed a trade deal with the eu in which the uk left the single market and the customs union. mrjohnson saw it as... a deal which will, if anything, allow our companies and exporters to do even more business with our european friends. that has not happened yet. this is the nonpartisan institute for fiscal studies. we have lost a large fraction of our trade with the european union, including with high—value professional services trade, that is making us poorer. 0r there is the uk's trade as a whole, the office for budget responsibility is the official body that provides independent economic analysis and it has concluded there has been a 15% reduction in trade intensity as a result of brexit. it also released this data. the red line shows uk exports, and unlike other advanced economies, the uk's

does it go back to brexit, the unfinished business of brexit?as there been a halloween out of government, of minute -- has there been a hollowing out of government, because they were perceived to be on the wrong side of brexit? >> there was a bit of that in the push against boris johnson, especially in the latter days of his premiership. i would listen carefully to what peter said and point to the fact nobody can pretend the current circumstances are good. four chancellors in four months. inflation is rampant across europe, interest rates are rising across the developed world. a lot of that is not to do with who occupies number 10 and number 11, our chancellor. i would point out jeremy hunt's arrival -- i did not vote for him, but his arrival was one of the bright points of the brief liz truss premiership. it does look like he will remain chancellor, whoever wins the prime minister leadership. i think a lot of economic fundamentals in the u.k. are better than some of our european neighbors. if you are comparing us to france, germany, spain, the

another said, "he decided to be a brexiteer, brexiteer and then created a back story to fit it."idence of your time in the foreign office that you had doubts about europe. well, maybe they're just saying i was a professional civil servant then, because yourjob is not to give vent to your own opinions all the time, but to try and do what the government is trying to do. and that's what i tried to do. did that feel limiting? did it feel annoying to go home and sort of have to say to yourself, i don't know whether you could say it to friends orfamily, "i don't agree with this stuff." i mean, it's part of thejob. if you can't do that, then you shouldn't be a civil servant, because you've got to live your professional life on somebody else�*s terms. and in the end, i left because i didn't feel that that was what i wanted to do for my whole life. did you leave, though, because it didn't work out? you see that phrase, thatjob title, private secretary to the head of the diplomatic service probably means nothing to most people listening. in the business, that means the guy tapped up to ris

he was, as you said, a committed brexiteer, and a committed brexiteer before many other people in thely believed it. i think he's also somebody who is not naturally antagonistic. he said during his leadership campaign that he didn't think a trade war with europe would be in the uk's national interests. so the hope in brussels is he's going to be a little bit more pragmatic. but, he still the leader of a party that is brexiteer, it is passionately brexiteer and that means he won't have that much room for manoeuvre over things like the northern ireland protocol, all those other loose ends from the brexit trade deal where there is a lot of stuff that still needs to be agreed. hopefully a degree of calmness can come over it, may be some progress can happen on that but it's not automatic. an important new phase in the ukraine war is starting. the ukrainian forces are closing in on kherson city in the south, which controls a part of the access to crimea. but winter is on its way and russia has been targeting ukraine's power stations, cutting electricity supplies to the population. life is s

a proposed law would give them the power to override the brexit deal. does rishi sunak fall into this? prof. barnard: good question. this law does sunsetting. two point -- 2500 pieces on the statute book. sunsetting means turnoff on the first of december, 2023. rishi sunak said he would turn it all off within 100 days, which essentially means in january. liz truss says she wanted to turn it off by the end of 2020 three, but what we have learned since all of the shenanigans of the summer is that the markets want u.k. to be a stable place and not to be making radical decisions. the interesting question is whether rishi sunak might decide that this legislation goes too far, too fast and that a positive is needed or some sort of reassessment so that all of this legislation does not just get turned off automatically. jon: catherine, it is such a long list of to do's for the incoming prime minister who warned of the profound economic challenge the u.k. is facing. how does he address those concerns when the credibility in the market story have been front and c

and i do think it all kicked off with brexit and boris johnson's support for brexit.olution to the country's woes. actually, it has made things a lot worse economically. with everything going on globally, we could scarcely afford the price of brexit, which is lower growth and lower exports, which sounds theoretical, but it is actually people's wages and we feel it in the cost of inputs and inflation etc. you can promise the world to a country, which is what people leading the vote lead campaign did. borisjohnson promised he would make the country better but none of that stuff materialised and it would never materialise. and we are now at a point where brexit has much lower salience. people are angry about the way the conservative party mistreated the country and what happened in downing street during the parties during the pandemic, what liz truss did with her mini—budget, tanking the economy. people are angry, and brexit has gone down in salience. in some ways, it doesn't matter who ends up leaving the conservative party —— who ends up leading the conservative party.

i never wanted brexit either. but i trust oor wee - nicola sturgeon, you know? i love her. the issue of independence is never far from the surface of politics in scotland. for some voters, it is the number one priority. but even so, right now, almost everyone wants to know exactly what rishi sunak is going to do about what he calls a profound economic crisis. what can a new pm do for the people of porthcawl? can he quell the storm many here feel is rising? at his cafe, mehmet counts empty tables. customers are cutting back, inflation eating up his income. he hopes rishi sunak will help, and, as in the pandemic, encourage people to eat out to help out. maybe a little business like ours can get support from the government. maybe tax free, or vat can be looked into. annette and alice are mother and daughter. neither is convinced voters in wales will relate to mr sunak, or that he can relate to them. i honestly can't see how someone with that wealth can ever really comprehend what. .. what life is like here? what life

we are the party who got brexit done and we will realise on the promise of brexit.e are building an economy which makes the most of the huge opportunities brexit offers. by the end of the year, all eu-inspired red tape will be history. instead, we will ensure regulation is pro-business and pro-growth. leaving the eu gives us the chance to do things differently. and we need more of that. that is why over the coming weeks, my team of ministers will set out more about what we are going to do to get britain moving. we will make it easier to build homes, to afford childcare and to get superfast broadband. we will help you set up your own businesses and get a mobile phone signal wherever you are in the country. we are in tough times. but i want you to know that day in, day out, i'm thinking about how we get this country moving. i'm working flat out to make sure people can get through this crisis. so let me be clear, we have your back. that is why the government took decisive action to tackle the energy crisis. it is why we are pushing ahead with our plan for growth. econo

the debate on brexit.gument but there are probably more leavers on the right than on the left. at least, prominent ones. they said when you did the sums on brexit, you ignored what they said other dynamic effects. the possibility that brexit would unleash new innovation, for example, deregulation, for example. all sorts of things which might make the economy grow. and simply doing the numbers, what liz truss calls the abacus economics, cannot reach. that's not true on a few levels. the first thing to say about brexit is that it was awkward for an organisation like aifs because we only do the economics and not the politics. there are good political reasons for wanting to leave the european union. but the economics are very clear. if you sever links with your biggest, nearest, richest trading partner you will be worse off. that may well be a price worth paying. that's the political judgement to make. that is why i say it is difficult in the referendum situation because you have remainers saying, "everything

if these people did not support brexit and brexit would not have happened, we would never have seen anyhing would have been the same. there would have been other people. just all the people who were at the top . of the conservative party who were against braxton and they were the leadership of the party, they left politics because all these people are fighting johnson and decided sunok and all the others whom we now see they were considered a frank fringe all these analytical centers that substantiated the flourishing of the great after brexit, they considered britain a bunch of urban lunatics, by the way, we also have such people who express some absolutely idiotic ideas there and if you imagine that they come to some real power there, well, they will be reckoned with , the leadership of ukraine also believed and now they will atone for this i believe that in the course of 10 years of severe economic trials and the end will still be as i say, a person will appear and clearly say it will be an adventurer, you don't even have to think , they bought themselves for that for this absolutely

i didn't hear that brexit was about slashing workers' rights.hear people wanting to lower standards on food, animal welfare, or the environment. i didn't hear them wanting to end redistribution. so i want to speak directly to the people who left labour on this issue. whether you voted leave or remain, you've been let down. and with liz truss, the tories are changing the meaning of brexit before your eyes. if you voted for government to step in on your side for better work, higher wages, more opportunities in your community, for an nhs that is modern and reliable, if you voted to take control of your life and for the next generation to have control of theirs, then i say to you, that is what i will deliver. i will make work pay for the people who create this country's wealth. i will make sure we buy, make, and sell more in britain. i will revitalise public services and control immigration using a points-based system. i will spread power and opportunity to all our communities. and i will never be shy to use the power of government to help working p

yeah, but it was much more fundamental than brexit. the catalyst for all of this, but it wasn't really about the european union. it was about a political system, an economic model that wasn't delivering for people, and a political system that told them that they were stupid, that they were dinosaurs, that they were racists, that this was progress and they either got on board or got out of the way. and ijust remember that on the day of the referendum leafleting in wigan town centre and it was, you know, it's a pretty awful experience because we're leafleting for a remain in a town where people had pretty much made up their minds by then, that they were definitely going to vote leave in large numbers. a third of people voted remain, but two thirds voted leave. and i remember this guy coming up to me said it won't make any difference anyway. and i said to him, it absolutely will. i mean, this is one of the few elections where your vote really does count. and he said no, because they'll never do it. they'll never do it. whatever we say, th

he was very pro—brexit.bout the benefits of the uk leaving the benefits of the uk leaving the european union. but, as you say, many are looking for this dullness dividend from rishi sunak, after weeks of turmoil. i think we will see a return to less psychodrama, is often the borisjohnson or liz less psychodrama, is often the boris johnson or liz truss times have been called, to something that is a bit more boring. i think the nation is crying out for a boring, more serious politics, and really get down to a job at work. and when you look at the opinion polls and the difficulty is that the government have, the conservative party has come if it really wants to make an impression in the elections, which will have to be held in 2024, it is going to have to show that it repaired some of the economic damage, and that is going to require a thankless focus on daily drama, and much more than nuts and bolts of dealing with the economy, and we will have to see who the chancellor is. the expectation of course is thatjer
