      I was merely pointing out that GDP is a tool to look at the economy as a whole, but it can not visualise more specific trends or inequalities, let alone those caused by Brexit.

        If any have been caused by brexit. 95% of UK companies don’t export to the EU after all.

            They are so small they can’t be discerned in the figures though. Especially when compared to covid and russian invasion
