How Boris Johnson?s hard Brexit would hit the UK economy

13 October 2019

The Brexit deal that Boris Johnson, the prime minister, is seeking to strike with Brussels this week would push the UK down the route of a hard Brexit, resulting in the nation missing out on up to 7 per cent of growth, according to new estimates from UK in a Changing Europe. The analysis undertaken by Hanwei Huang, Jonathan Portes and Thomas Sampson of King's College London and the London School of Economics said Mr Johnson's "red lines" on regulation and trade policy pointed to a post-Brexit arrangement with the EU more distant than the deal struck by his predecessor Theresa May.
