To be fair they tried to use everything, even the weather...

And the publics disapproval of the way the Government’s handling of the Brexit negotiations and the confidence that we will get the right deal has also fallen through the floor sadly.

Just did Google Search, and the only place that quote comes up in in Daniel Hannan's twitter feed - did anyone actually say it?

Remind me what the benefits of leaving were? Money for the NHS? No that was a lie. Less immigration, apparently not. A lot who voted leave are scratching their heads today; for once they can't totally blame politicians.

A post from Mr K from June 2016, 4 days after the referendum. Predicting all kinds of stuff to happen, that didn't. I like how he says project fear is accurate so far, when, where ?
There was no recession and the stock market is reaching record levels.

Economic crash IMMINENT: Fears grow as markets hit high not seen since Black Tuesday
There is a growing sense of foreboding amongst economists who believe the market is poised to repeat what happened during the dotcom bubble and the Wall street crash.
Stock values have reached levels not seen since those two disasters and a correction would throw the world economy - currently seeing an ongoing boom period - into disarray.

These are volatile times, not helped by Brexit.

The words selective memory can be applied to both sides of the divide Mick but you know that anyway.

The process of Brexit is causing uncertainty but not brexit itself, I refute that claim totally and I've told you, I don't read or have a favourite tabloid or any shares in Trump businesses, so enough of the silly remarks.
And It's a bit late in the day to say 'Brexit' has not happened yet. Especially when you said, recession is predicted in 2017. The quote by you, is there for all to see. There was no recession and the pound recovered somewhat.

Mick old chap, get real, the pound has fallen 12% against the Euro since the Brexit vote.
Don't really see much recovery here...

I’m on about the U.S Dollar vs £, the £ has recovered somewhat, I care very little about the Euro, given it is a EU created currency. The Euro is a failure as far as I’m concerned and part of the failed EU project.

No, like Hugh, just doing my best to give you some facts Mick. The fact is the EU is doing very well compared to the UK.

The eurozone’s economy once again grew faster than the UK’s in the third quarter of 2017, according to the latest data, confirming the divergence in economic fortunes between Britain and the continent as Brexit approaches in 2019.

Re: Brexit discussion
Here's the two biggest hits to my pocket recently:
1) car insurance £6 a month up
2) virgin media £3.50 a month up
neither are caused by Brexit, maybe we have tunnel vision

It wasn’t fake, the claim was made by remainers, even by one of your buddies, as I quoted. Open your eyes!
