Jacob Rees-Mogg – 2022 Comments on Report that Suggested Brexit Reduced UK Growth

Comments made by Jacob Rees-Mogg, the Conservative MP for North East Somerset, in the Daily Express on 22 December 2022.

In a report gullibly swallowed by the remainiacs it models what would have happened to the UK economy had it remained in the European Union. It calls this a “doppelganger” method. Inevitably for such an organisation it produces a negative result. However, its methodology is not only flawed but absurd.

Buried in the text is the admission that “the doppelganger grew a little faster than the UK before 2009” – an admission which makes the whole exercise valueless.

Even more preposterously it claims that Brexit has a cost that existed even when the UK was in the EU. If our economy grew less quickly than it ought to have done when we were in why is Brexit responsible for our current level of growth?
