Well, personally, I would not be confident about what the economists say. They have got it wrong on countless occasions and I am absolutely certain that they've got Brexit wrong, too.

Too much emphasis on the negatives with no suitable allowance for the positives. How do they calculate the impact of new trade deals, for example, before they know who they will be with, what they will cover and when they will be effective? It's much easier for them to concentrate on what we will be losing from the EU as this is more predictable.
