    Solely looking at GDP says little about the impacts of Brexit, especially on the impact it has on individuals. While it tells us the UK fares well on production capacity and economic growth, it says little on the welfare and well being of her citizens.

    There is of course a lot of disparity of the origins in the data, and Tory governing most likely have its effects as well.

    Point is, GDP is not a good measure on whether things are looking bright for individuals.

      production capacity

      No. Purely finance. The rest of the country exists solely to support the financial sector (by making it look like we’re a country and not a tax haven with a massive casino).
