Oh goody. When are we rejoining?😁 Sorry to disappoint, but the EU isn't up for that. Customs union and single market membership is very much on the cards, though. Never underestimate the power of a good moan, Benny. Farage had to whinge for decades to get his way - we expect to get our way in fraction of that time. With up to 65% now of the opinion that Brexit hasn't delivered, we're off to a good start. Does that mean we will get unrestricted newly liberated Scotch migrants when we join up or will the sweaties still be waiting for the EU invite ?

We'll get back to you.

I believe that Ms Lagarde has consumed some human fluids in the past but nothing is said about that . Sexism is alive and well in the EU. Glad we left.

No, it isn't a fact that "the UK has had low productive and grown when it was in the Single Market." Here, just to rectify your misstatement and false information: From the NIESR: "The United Kingdom’s economy has been plagued by anaemic productivity growth since the 2008-09 global financial crisis. Between 1974 and 2008, the UK’s productivity grew at an average rate of 2.3% a year, a much higher rate than the growth rate between 2008 and 2020 at around 0.5%."
Productivity growth in the UK started diverging from our European neighbours in the 1970's - the New Labour years only saw more divergence. The problem with poor productivity in the UK predates membership of the Single Market and didnt change whether we were in the SM or not.

I have given you indisputable facts: (1) The UK is the only economy in the G7 that has failed to return to pre-pandemic levels. (2) The UK is the only country that has to deal with Brexit. Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the US all have managed to return to pre-pandemic levels and they have one common denominator: All of them do not have the Brexit monkey on their backs. The UK is the only one with the Brexit monkey on its back. With such relevant and related facts, you don't need an Einstein to tell you that Brexit has had and continue to have a negative impact on the UK economy. Your link even confirms that it has had a negative impact. Your link just attempts to diminish and belittle that impact. Just like what you're doing here. Whether my narrative is curated or not is not the challenge. Your challenge is to provide hard evidence that Brexit has NOT had a negative impact on the UK economy and businesses since you're so hung on up hard evidence. So, where is your hard evidence? Again: (a) 6 of the 7 G7 countries managed to get back to pre-pandemic levels . That is an objective truth. (b) Only the UK has failed to get back to pre-pandemic level. That is another objective truth. (c) Only the UK has to drag extra baggage called Brexit. Another objective truth. So, tell me; what other relevant conclusion can you draw from such truths except for that Brexit has had and continue to have negative effect on the UK economy? Nothing else. Is there? No, it isn't a fact that "the UK has had low productive and grown when it was in the Single Market." Here, just to rectify your misstatement and false information: From the NIESR: "The United Kingdom’s economy has been plagued by anaemic productivity growth since the 2008-09 global financial crisis. Between 1974 and 2008, the UK’s productivity grew at an average rate of 2.3% a year, a much higher rate than the growth rate between 2008 and 2020 at around 0.5%."
We left, you are still whinging. Exactly. The funniest thing is these people claim to be lefties. Dennis Skinner is a leftie and he campaigned for leave. There is nothing left wing about the EU. And with the Commission in charge of policy writing, not much democratic about it either.

The SM had no positive effect on the UK's low productivity gnomey.
