I, on the other hand, am interested to hear about any concrete benefits to leaving the EU, but I do require some evidence they are likely to happen. Unfortunately, I have seen none, since before June 2016. I would argue there is none, because if there were, Theresa May would be using it to bolster her chances and her government, but she isn't

The only benefit to some people is a reduction in EU immigration but of course there are more non-EU citizens arriving here so overall it nearly remains the same as it was before.

Net migration from the EU to the UK has slumped to a six-year low, while non-EU migration is the highest in more than a decade, according to new data issued by the Office for National Statistics.

The data suggests non-EU net migration is more than three times the level of EU net migration. Overall, net long-term international migration was 273,000. This is down from the record levels of about 330,000 two years ago, but still almost three times the government’s target of less than 100,000.
