Brexit will leave workers poorer than they would have been and has damaged Britain's competitiveness, new study says

and yes, even Piers Morgan is discussing it:

You know its a real problem for the Tories when the Express starts whinging:

This will become more of an issue for the Tories as the pain of Brexit seen in inflation, etc. starts to bite people who, previously, may not of cared too much.
I think one indication is that Brexit is not working is the fact that the government acknowledges that customs imports checks add increased costs so it is postponing these for years.

The Resolution Report which generated the Evening Standard headline Brexit will hit workers’ real wages by nearly £500-a-year is a powerful way of demonstrating the downside of Brexit in a way that a reduction in GDP does not.

I'm sure there will be many cynics who think you spent the day searching for bad news stories on Brexit. The reality is apart from bankers' bonuses, there are no genuine Brexit benefit stories. We could have had blue passports and crown marks on pints before Brexit, to take some of the more talked-about benefits.
