Or do you think that they've actually got a great bunch of experts who've looked into things deeply, crunched the numbers exhaustively and come up with some very probable scenarios which to Brexiters like BoJo are an uncomfortable truth.
Andrew, we've been over these pessimistic forecasts time and again. Even those compiled by the most trusted of sources have got it wrong every time.

As I said, whether or not Brexit is forecast to be a success or a disaster rather depends what assumptions you put into the calculation in the first place. Put rubbish in, and you get rubbish out.

I say again, the government is committed to getting a good trade deal (no tariffs),with the EU, which is already in the bag, to getting out of the customs union and single market.

If you dare to think, just for one minute, that the government succeeds in getting what it wants, what is it exactly, that is going to impoverish us as you want us all to think?

FORMULA: TRADE WITH EU LITTLE CHANGED + MORE TRADE FROM NEW TRADE DEALS = MORE DOSH FOR LITTLE BRITAIN.

Seems straight forward enough for me. The trouble is that you and your fellow remainers just cannot bring yourselves to believe that TM's government will achieve its aims on Brexit. However, I guess seeing is believing but don't complain that I didn't tell you so when we get to 2019.
