Brexit Fingertip Facts


 * Since the referendum inward investment in the UK has fallen by 92%
 * This is equivalent to 30 billion GBP per year in lost revenue to HMRC through Income tax, VAT and National Insurance
 * Up until Brexit inward investment in the UK had seen a year on year increase
 * The government has stated that the fall of inward investment is a good thing because it means less jobs and thus less immigration
 * The NHS has 40,000 vancancies for Nurses
 * Nurses (and other workers) have stated that they are leaving the country due to the uncertainty about their future right to be in the UK
 * If we have a no-deal brexit thousands of nurses (and other workers) will have no right to stay in the UK from 30th March 2019
 * Manufacturing companies are already moving their operations to mainleand Europe
 * Fruit of the Loom
 * Further research required
 * Financial services companies are moving abroad
 * Note that Jacob Rees Mogg is an example of this cynicism where he is fine with destroying the UK manufacturing and farming industries, while moving his own investments into the EU to ensure they are covered by the EU financial passport
 * Also note that the UK did not seek a financial passport vigorously in the Chequers deal as it does not impact the wealthy as they move their trading outside the UK much more easily than farmers or manufacturers. Jacob Rees Mogg then scuppered the Chequers deal which offered the best (if little) hope that industry outside the financial sector could survive in the UK
