1. The Economy
Alex Forsyth and guests discuss the impact leaving the EU has had on the UK economy.
It is 10 years since the Brexit referendum. In this series Alex Forsyth, a 麻豆社 correspondent who鈥檚 covered Brexit from both Brussels and Westminster, looks at what impact the decision to leave the EU has had on various aspects of public and political life.
The effect of leaving the EU on the economy has been one of the most contested aspects of Brexit . From dire warnings about multi-billion pound budgetary black holes ahead of the referendum to assertions that the UK would become 鈥淪ingapore-on-Thames鈥 if freed from the orbit of Brussels, there have been bold - and at times - unfounded claims.
To get a sense of the arguments around the economic consequences of Brexit, Alex Forsyth talks to Julian Jessop, an independent economist and Economics Fellow at the Institute of Economic Affairs and David Smith, Economics editor at the Sunday Times.
