“Brexit did deep damage to our economy,” says Sir Keir

“No, it didn’t,” says Facts4EU,
“and we prove you’re lying, with one stunning chart.”

We demand a full public retraction and apology from the PM to the British people

Yesterday we published a report described as “a blockbuster” by a GB News executive, which contained a chart called “stunning” by Reform UK’s Deputy Leader, and as having “nailed it” by a senior Conservative Peer and expert on the economy.

The report was a definitive response to the Prime Minister, the Chancellor, and other Cabinet Ministers who have been repeating the same lie with ever-increasing intensity for months.

The lie:
“Brexit did deep damage to our economy”

Someone had to call them out and it fell to us.

In one, powerful blow to a Prime Minister already under pressure for his veracity over the Mandelson affair, we destroyed the entire basis for his ‘EU Re-Set’, showing it is founded on lies.

Whilst it now seems unlikely he will still be in post for the second of his EU Re-Set Summits, the Government will remain and one of his colleagues who has repeated the same lie will no doubt continue this highly damaging process.

Here is the chart that got everyone talking yesterday

The chart that shows unequivocally

Brexit did NO damage to the UK economy, deep or otherwise

The EU’s Top 5 economies all show the same pattern over the last 10 years

If there was any damage to the UK economy, Prime Minister,
could you please point it out on this chart?

The simple fact is neither the PM nor any of his colleagues can defend their lie

Facts4EU is therefore repeating its demand for a full public retraction and apology for misleading the public knowingly and in such an extreme way.

From 5 page report by GLA Economics Jan 26 “recent studies indicate that the reduction in GDP growth as a result of Brexit is higher
than earlier forecasts suggested. Most of these studies submit anywhere between a 5 and 10% reduction over the medium term, compared to 2 to 5% in the earlier studies. most studies (previous or recent) conclude that Brexit has been harmful to both the London and UK economies, reducing investment, exports, productivity and growth”
.
Using one measure is not enough. What about Investment, GDP per capita etc etc. After the referendum GBP to Euro exchange rate dropped and hasn’t yet recovered (holidayed in Europe recently). Our economy has faired well due to an increase in demand for services. Areas like manufacturing, fishing and the promised “levelling up”, HS2 (now 1/2), 40 new hospitals and immigration is where Brexit has not delivered.
.
But Brexit was not decided on economics it was decided on immigration (see YouGov Tracker).
.
And don’t forget shared Sovereignty over N Ireland and Gibraltar.
.
The USA is not going to be the saviour of Brexit.
.
At least we’ve got Black/Blue passports to look at whilst waiting in a queue.

Your quoting an organisation that's funded and reports to Sadiq Khan who has always been an obsessive rejoiner. You are also reverting back to your old strategy of denying there was a Euro crises. It's not convincing !
.
The UK was in the EU for 27 years yet you refuse to look at factual data showing our performance during this period. You also refuse to look at factual data of the EU's performance compared to other major economies. All you do is produce hypothetical forecasts from other rejoiner organisations !
.
Since the UK left the EU the EU has moved from one crisis to another (not denied by the EU) with each one being bodged by more and more joint debt. The effect of these or the additional costs that the UK would have experienced are never mentioned in your hypothetical ridiculous forecasts. I'm sure the people who want the truth will continue look at factual information, there's no shortage of it !

Sparky: .Whatever. Forget all the statistics and prophecies that are manipulated. I look at the the situation on the ground and having followed the European press for sometime I can tell you that pretty well whatever subject of the economy and social aspects you care to choose - the EU are in the same boat or following very closely. Yesterday, for instance, a well know European cycle race has been told by a local commune to find other roads to use because they have no money to fix - POTHOLES !!
.
Choose whatever you want: Releasing prisoners early, migrant accomodation, redundancies, energy problems, lack of housing, pensions, medical provision, Nursing, Doctors, rubbish piling up, soldiers on the Brussels streets for crime, lack of rail infrastructure,sickness levels , homelesness, rough sleepers.............. Pretty well all the same problem with money as the UK.
.
Europe is in the same economic boat. And all because of BREXIT !!

HYW (3) The Tour de France is coming to NW England in 2027.
The roads in Lancashire are completely disintegrating before our eyes.
We believe that somehow, as if by magic, the money will be found to resurface the route before this happens.

Investment you say?
UK Fintech attracted more investment than Germany, France, Belgium, the Nordics, Ireland, China, and Brazil COMBINED
And that's despite a 25% reduction in 2025 (a result of Rachel Thieves mismanagement of the economy)
.
Meanwhile the EU is telling people to just go without electricity.
Turns out relying on solar panels in countries without any Sun wasn't the best strategy after all.

*** Breaking news ***

In a bold move to stop illegal migrant crossings, the English Channel is to be renamed.
It is now to be called "Kier Starmer's Desk"
.
Because it transpires that absolutely nothing ever crosses Kier Starmers desk

Counterfactual computer modelling figures are NOT actual facts ........ you do realise that right?

8. Sparky , Sunday, April 19, 2026, 08:42:

2 NH. If you done like the GLA Economics report, have a look at the OBR, BoE, British Chamber of Commerce, LSE, CEPR, The FT, World Finance, UK in a Changing Europe. If you need anymore let me know.
.
It is a little ironic that it is largely London based UK services that have held up the UK economy since Covid and Brexit (fintech included G). But is it was largely outlying depressed areas of the UK such as Clacton or Hartlepool, where most of the Leave votes came from that have not felt any benefit from the services industry growth.
.
The hope of friends elsewhere, particularly USA is clearly not the solution that was hoped. Instead of running off in a tantrum from the EU, Uk politicians should have been in the EU moving things forward to the benefit of the UK and the EU asa whole. Instead we had UKIP MEP's prevaricating in the EU and we may soon be electing the same people that did so. At least Hungary has woken up.

I repeat
Counterfactual computer modelling figures are NOT actual facts......... It would appear that you don't realise that.
.
.
And if you think that new Hungarian PM Peter Magyar is a Europhile then you are in for a major disappointment.
He's further to the right than Orban on a number of issues, and has already rejected the EU migration pact
.
.
BTW
The India/UK FTA is expected to come into force in May.

10. Sparky , Sunday, April 19, 2026, 11:33:

9 G. Magyar has been elected on closer relations to the EU. As was Starmer.
.
And the EU will also have an FTA with India.
.
Next you’ll quote CPTPP, theoretically worth 0.8% GDP.
