Brexit was a choice for less international trade and investment. Less trade/investment means a less efficient, less productive economy. Which in turn implies that the British must work harder to buy less than they did pre-Brexit. Maybe was worth it, but only if honestly presented — PolitiTweet.org

Britain was sold the idea that Brexit would mean "more," when in fact it had to mean "less." Maybe "less" is a sacrifice worth making for greater national sovereignty - if you are aware you are making the sacrifice. Worryingly, it seems even national leaders were not aware. — PolitiTweet.org

Brexit is now a reality, so it has to be paid for. That means more exporting, less importing; more taxing, less spending; more working, less consuming; more visitors to the UK, less traveling abroad. The cheaper pound is the first step toward paying Brexit's costs. — PolitiTweet.org
