The loss of £3,700 per household and almost a million jobs -worth it?
This from the same organisation that has produced research such as a claim that each UK household benefits to the tune of 3k per year from the EU, duly exposed as nonsensical here.

This looks like it comes out with that same kind of figure and it's still bovine excreta. We can all take some evidence, add a few assumptions, take on some worst and best case scenarios as we need to and come out with the result we were commissioned to. It doesn't make it any less worthless.

The CBI was wrong on Euro membership, they did this same nonsense then, and there's little evidence they are doing anything besides repeating the same propaganda exercise again. They are a joke.

We are subject to passport checks in the EU, they are subject to passport checks on our borders as we're not in Schengen.

Doesn't change that we're absolutely a part of free movement, and have no special controls over who comes in from the EU.
