I’m unsure what tedious regulations you refer to. Can you give me an example of a business idea that will be viable on 30th March 2019 that isn’t viable today because we are in the EU? The claim seems at odds with the CBI stance on the matter. VAT isn’t going anywhere, and in fact cross border trade might be more bureaucratic.

You may want a more prosperous Britain, however you can’t tell me how this will be achieved post Brexit.
What, the austerity that was necessary after Labour's mismanagement of the economy which left the incoming coalition with no money?

The point is, we cannot keep taking in more and more people. You must surely see that there has to be a limit.

We will be free of a lot of that EU legislation that fetters the ability of our businesses to compete. We will negotiate trade deals that better meet our requirements, re-establishing our links with the Commonwealth countries when we abandoned them on joining the Common Market, we will have more trade with developing African markets and we will be joining other trading blocs to increase trade on favourable terms. At the same time, trading with the EU will remain much the same as it is now.

Britain has a brilliant future outside the EU and personally, I can't wait to see this reality.

Is there a long term plan to improve the economy from leaving? By when will we match the pre-Brexit economy?
How can ever increasing immigration be a good thing when our services cannot cope with what they are dealing with now?

If Theresa May gets her deal through Parliament, I doubt that we will be taking a financial hit. Why would we?
