Boris Johnson’s Brexit plan would leave knock up to £50bn off the economy and leave everyone in the UK £2,000 worse off, new analysis has found.
The Academic think-tank The UK in a Changing Europe said the plan that is the subject of intense negotiations between UK and EU officials would be worse for the UK economy than Theresa May’s deal.
The current proposal being discussed in Brussels would hit public finances by up to £49bn, the study found, with even that best-case scenario resulting in a £16bn fall in GDP.
