Leavers. Were you absolutely clear that a no deal Brexit would mean job losses?

?

Are you doubting Andrea Leadsome then?

What a great sense of humour you have, Ug

What do you think?

Maizie I don't remember Leavers telling us that there woud be job losses. I do remember Remainers saying that there would be and some Brexiters said that they didn't mind because wanted to leave whatever the cost.

^ it was talked about openly by politicians before the vote.^

By politicians campaigning for Leave, GG13?

You see, I didn't take a huge amount of interest in what was being claimed by either side as I already knew what my vote would be (and would still be). So I'm not recollecting anything much. But it seems so unlikely that Leave campaigners would be mentioning any negative consequences.

I’m wracking my brains. It ought not to take long.
That said, Himself has a better memory than me.
I’ll ask him later and get back to you.

In the meantime - Are you doubting Andrea Leadsome then?

I remember being told that leaving could mean job losses. But, in comparison with the job losses that have occurred and will still occur due to the covid pandemic, it will be a mere drop in the ocean (if they happen).

Since yours was the first post answering the OP.....then hardly!

The answer is yes, it was talked about openly by politicians before the vote.. not that jobs would be lost, but that they could be lost depending on how things were.There would also be some disruption ( maybe quite a bit!) that was also talked of a lot.

I am under the impression that the negotiations will continue up until 31st October so there is still time for a deal.

I wasn't really asking about that, GG13. I just wanted to know if Leave voters recalled being told ,ideally by the Leave campaigners, that a 'no deal' was a possibility and that it would mean job losses.

I honestly cannot remember anything about job losses from those campaigning for the leave vote in the event of no deal

I can however recall them saying that a deal would be done

I only remember a no deal being dismissed as being ridiculous as the EU needed the U.K. so much there would be a ready made deal better than the one we were participating in.

Wasn’t this dismissed as being part of “project fear” if UK left with no deal which she didn’t want?

Can you recollect who said and when, Ug?

Yes. We were told that.
Hopefully only in the short term, but yes, it was reported on before the referendum.

Please don’t ask me for a link.
