No deal24 Mar 2019 18:07
Roger Bootle - respected economist writes in the telegraph
Admittedly, many Brexit supporters, myself included, did not initially regard a no-deal outcome as first-best. We believed that the UK might secure something like Mrs May’s “deep and special partnership”. At least we should try. Yet once it became clear that this was not going to be achieved and that Mrs May had sold out British interests for a mess of pottage, then the no-deal option was best.
This doesn’t mean, however, that a no-deal exit would be painless. Although I believe that the initial economic disruption would be minor and comparatively short-lived, there would be some. And I expect that there would be political repercussions of a high order.
Why will sense not prevail?
