<\/p>\nNew data has delivered what one expert called “conclusive proof” that Brexit has not damaged the UK economy, contradicting recent claims by Chancellor Rachel Reeves.<\/p>\n
Rachel Reeves has previously blamed Britain\u2019s economic challenges on the decision to leave the EU, suggesting the country could reap “huge benefits” by moving closer to Brussels. <\/p>\n
However, Ben Philips, from the Campaign for an Independent Britain, told GB News that the latest figures from the ONS and Eurostat show a very different picture. <\/p>\n
“The UK leads the pack at a healthy 12 per cent growth since Brexit,” he said, pointing to data that outpaces Germany, France, and Italy. <\/p>\n
The graph presented by the experts was ‘conclusive proof’ that Brexit has not harmed the economy <\/p>\n

GB News host Martin Daubney said: “Rule Britannia surfing atop the waves. This is conclusive proof Brexit hasn\u2019t damaged the UK GDP. If anything, it proves we\u2019re better off.”<\/p>\n
The expert explained: “We were told that Britain would be a laggard because it’s outside the European Union. Nothing could be further from the truth.”<\/p>\n
“It was a reckless prediction by the OBR, and it’s been clung on to by Rachel Reeves as well, which further discredits her own credibility in our view.<\/p>\n
“There’s a huge crater, as you can see, as a result of Covid. That’s the elephant in the room that the establishment never talks about. <\/p>\n
“And then the UK comfortably reasserts its economic growth and ends up heading the pack by the end of the second quarter of 2025.”<\/p>\n
Ms Reeves is preparing to announce a series of new tax increases as she tries to address a substantial shortfall in public finances.<\/p>\n

These measures could potentially include an income tax hike that would break previous manifesto commitments, while speculation is mounting over other potential revenue-raising options, such as a mansion tax.<\/p>\n
In the lead-up to the Budget on 26 November, the Chancellor and other Cabinet ministers have increasingly pointed to Brexit as a factor in the UK\u2019s struggling economy.<\/p>\n
Earlier this month, Ms Reeves warned that leaving the EU had “exacerbated” Britain\u2019s productivity problems, signalling to the public that higher taxes may be on the horizon.<\/p>\n
She has also recently cited the impact of austerity and the policies of the former Conservative government for the current economic difficulties.<\/p>\n
Senior Conservatives have dismissed the Chancellor\u2019s comments, criticising them as “a rather weak excuse for her mismanagement of the economy”.<\/p>\n
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) revealed GDP rose by 0.1 per cent month-on-month in August and fell by 0.1 per cent in July, in a revision to the previous estimate for no growth. <\/p>\n
In the three months to August, GDP grew by 0.3 per cent compared with 0.2 per cent growth in the three months to July.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New data has delivered what one expert called “conclusive proof” that Brexit has not damaged the UK economy,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":538185,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5226],"tags":[802,748,1700,2000,299,5187,1699,4884,1232,285,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-538184","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-brexit","8":"tag-brexit","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-economy","11":"tag-eu","12":"tag-europe","13":"tag-european","14":"tag-european-union","15":"tag-great-britain","16":"tag-money","17":"tag-politics","18":"tag-uk","19":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115464622825441811","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/538184","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=538184"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/538184\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/538185"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=538184"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=538184"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=538184"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
