I highly recommend this 30-minute video analysis of the economic consequences of Brexit. I was particularly struck by the comments of small business owners in 🇬🇧 who not only face great difficulties, but also feel that there is no public debate about them. youtube.com/watch?v=wO2lWm…

This gripping FT documentary on the effects of Brexit has now had 1.6m views in a week. Free to view. It is really worth your time - shows very clearly the economic cost of Brexit. Chapeau to producer Daniel Garrahan and the other FT folk involved youtube.com/watch?v=wO2lWm…

Of all the words written about the catastrophe of the past week, this letter in the FT sums it up best of all. And it’s worse than we might have thought.
