So Italy is more efficient/better in producing steel than the UK, and somehow the EU is to blame for that. Right, got it.
Who knew that all the car manufacturing companies in the UK are UK companies, and who knew you could talk about economics for 20 minutes without mentioning profit, not even once.
I've seen graphs that clearly show that the medium GDP in the EU got established at a considerably higher level than the UK after the pandemic. The EU recovered considerably after Covid. The present crisis in Germany is mainly due to a long term fuel dependence policy in relation to Russia and the necessity of finding quick alternatives due to the war in Ukraine. Brexiteers want us to believe that it's all down to Covid but tend to ignore that the most reasonible thing is to establish strong trade relations with your direct neighbours, something that has largely broken away because of Brexit. There are loads of testimonies of exporters that have moved out of the UK to save their business with the consequences of loss of jobs in Britain. As far as imports are concerned, it's also pretty obvious that it makes sense to get perishable produce from neighbouring countries nearby. Now obviously at a much higher cost.
Apart from all that, the EU doesn't only mean economic benefit but also sharing basic issues of a European identity. In the end, the EU goes back to a peace project.
@@hannofranz7973 The E is not any longer a "Peace Project". It was once, but the obsession with eastwards expansion in pursuit of cheap labour has resulted in a war that will be the EU's undoing. The arrogance is frightening.
@@paullarne
Complete nonsense.
It's practically impossible to see any EU country going to war with each other because they operate under a framework of cooperation and equal rights.
In contrast, brexit and its English nationalism only brought separation and conflict.
@@guleiro On the contrary it is perfectly possible to envisage the situation in which an EU Army would be used to oppress say Poland, or Hungary, or indeed the UK.
English Nationalism isn't really a thing, just that our geography has given us a different outlook which is why we were never a good fit in the EU once it became fixated on the centralisation of control in Brussels.

Like to know who funds this channel, but its top secret...
Goldman Sachs said we're 4 - 5 % below where we would be if we'd stayed in. I doubt they said that because Sunpat didn't tidy his desk properly when he left.
This is nonsense. Firstly, the speaker is cherry-picking to the extreme; and clearly being intentionally deceptive. She's presenting all kinds of figures about trade flow, but missing the forest for the trees - the overall longterm trend of increased tradeflow has very markedly reduced the past few years (ref e.g. FT reporting just this past week). Focusing on creatively framed small details that look OK without context at best is interesting from the perspective of identifying how it can be that some _aspects_ of trade aren't horrible despite the overall trend. Secondly, she's basically lying when she says "brexit happened" as a way to suggest that if we can't see the damage yet (in her example to beef trade) then brexit must be irrelevant. From a trade perspective Brexit isn't singular moment, it's a long drawn out process we're perhaps half way through - and specifically on beef, farmer's worries are due to bad _new_ trade deals that have replaced EU membership, and those rules haven't yet come into force. So yes, the brexit that seems to be in our rear view mirror will be the cause of quite a bit of future damage. Thirdly, she's misrepresenting covid related damage, again, surely intentionally. A disinterested observer might indeed be challenged to fully disentangle brexit effects from covid effects (or even effects from Russia's invasion). However, if you're trying to tell those causes apart, an obvious and necessary perspective is to look at similar countries. Here, the story is clear - similar economies did not see even close to the kind of persistent negative effects starting in 2020 that the UK is seeing - so that effect is far more likely to be caused by the concurrent departure from the single market, not by covid. Even today, despite being further from the front-line, the UK seems to be suffering more than most EU economies (barring perhaps notably Germany, and even there it's not clear) - likely because the UK is suffering not just from Russia's aggression, but _also_ from persistent brexit damage.
Cherry-picking data like this, playing Pinocchio about when and how Brexit would hit trade, and failing to make obvious comparisons to disentangle Brexit from Covid and Russia's invasion all paint a clear picture: she's being intentionally deceptive. No honest analyst could ever hold these views; this angle is clearly meant to be mislead listeners.
It's not just about the amount of trade, it's how much that trade costs.
We live in the North of England there are a ton of SME's outside the South East doing value added products with at least part of the components through the EU supply chain. Anyway in my immediate area the company my wife works for has massive delays huge tranches of paperwork and additional costs with a general downturn of -25%.
The craft Beer and Gin place lost their EU business overnight with no viable replacement due to paperwork red tape sky rocketing transport costs.
My friend's son plays in a show-band they toured France during the summer season that work is gone completely
My Brother lives in Norway and I can no longer send him an Xmas present
so as far as were concerned its sh1te the sooner were realigned the better
What I see on this chart @4:40 is, that goods deficit has increased, as we in EU correctly predicted before referendum, and therefore you had 0 leverage in trade negotiation.
The opposite of what brexiteers predicted...
She's done no research on trade and distance whatsoever. Her remarks are contrary to the truth. There is a very strong correlation between trade and distance. R2=0.92 the last time I calculated it. Services are as dependent on distance as goods. The whole thing is ideological nonsense. Then it is the IEA.
UK farmers produce to higher standards than Australian farmed produce. I prefer the higher quality , quality rather than quantity, the nation's health relies upon the quality.
Sadly, All meat is not meat. US meat can be produced in 6 months with hormones, and UK meat can take up to two years for the same. The Fat and Chemical content of both products are distinct (to say the least). There is something to be said for Standards and the men.wemon with White Coats and clipboards. I never understood fully why regulation is bad, it just means food is safer and planes do not fall out of the sky.
Sadly the Tories want to deregulate so they can enable imports from the US with hormone filled beef and bleached chicken (yes the bleach you clean your sink with) Deregulation is actually about bigger profits for big business and never about benefits for the population as a whole.
@fransdigitalmediaservices3912
A re-education of the people is required. Consumerism has led the people to see quantity as the defining factor in food, that is a grotesque situation, where poor quality high profit food is produced using the Intensive farming techniques you describe, the chemicals and hormones you talk about do alot of damage to the environment and human health.
Whilst I’d agree Brexit wasn’t as bad as some predicted it worries me that this video is selective and ignores vital facts like future market access and the long term effect this will have on areas like FDI as just one example. I’m still not optimistic but i would like to be proved wrong.
I would be concerned about the incremental decisions that companies will make about future investment and strategy. That can be a slow process but over time can be significant. Equally, the government can mitigate against it once it knows it is happening. Also Worth noting, that Ireland was allways treated as an appendage to the larger UK market prior to the Single Market 1992. the risk is that Non EU companies will see the UK as an extra bonus market once they have secured a foothold in the UK.

@@SlowhandGreg
I get what you’re saying and I’m certainly no advocate of Brexit but I thought it was going to be even worse. We need to re join the Single Market and or Customs Union.
@igitalmediaservices3912 Apparently all those companies that moved to the Netherlands and Ireland did it because they're gay, or something.
Just one thing missing. UK is still not fully out of the Single Market. Services left 1.1.2024 and the last one goes 1.6.2025. So the full hit from UK leaving the EU 🇪🇺 is yet to come. Patience people patience 🙄
Goods trade has fallen as a proportion of EU goods trade. So EU goods trade has declined through lost trade that would otherwise have been there.
It really doesn't matter what percentage of car exports go to non-EU countries. What really matters is how much profit are the British manufacturers left with after all the accounting is carried out. If the raw materials and critical value added components are imported from the EU to manufacture the cars in question then there's not really that big of a positive impact for the economy by leaving the EU.
Assembled, to be precise, there is no large scale car manufacturing left in the UK.
That may sound as nitpicking, but in fact emphasises the fact that the UK is part of an integrated production chain that now sees extra obstacles.
That might influence future decisions when it comes to new model production.
@@ab-ym3bf Indeed, because assembling needs just in time imports and exports. Some items go back and forth between many countries while being assembled.
There are no ‘British manufacturers’ because all of the UK companies are subsidiaries for companies from EU, Japan, India and USA.
@@louis-philippearnhem6959 If JIT slows that means having higher inventories to keep the lines flowing. Inventory is "dead money" and an additional cost hit to the bottom line.
You would hardly think we were in a recession, would you.
yet you are
I will just say Disraeli. I think the EU offered a lot more to the average Brit. Ease of travel. Working in the EU. Workers coming to the UK with similar values. Similar qualifications. Scotland Nigeria nurses. If being out of the EU is so great why did the Pound fall in value? Fishermen are struggling to sell fish to the EU OK that's trivial on a global scale but is one example where Brexit did not work out.
Where are the graphs showing the boom in food banks, the graph showing that our pay is worse now than in 2006 and the graph showing the percentage decrease in investment in each of the public services ? These should all have benefited from the IEA's booming Britain. But she's right! Brexit has been an enormous success - for the top 1%.
👍
Services? You mean money stolen from the public purse going to tax havens?
Wow, the assumptions and omissions in this presentation are staggering 😂
Who funds you?
It's a "CHARITY" - So funded by donors (i.e. rich people with an incentive to get the results that help their business.)
@@proffessorclueless Rich people that had interrest in getting UK out from the "socialist" EU.
@@c.guibbs1238Yep, that's what I said.
It has been suggested elsewhere that The Institute of Economic Affairs is in reality nothing more then a “hard-right lobby group”.
It’s actually undisclosed for the most part but some libertarian business guy called AGAF
3:25 The UK contributed £100 million of tax payer's money to Nissan's £1 billion electric vehicle hub in Sunderland, opened in 2022.
And the UK government contributed £210 million of tax payer's money to Rolls-Royce's SMR development.
All we have to do is spend infinite taxpayers' money on -bribes- incentives and we'll have more jobs than we know what to do with.
That's conclusive then, ignore the experts and listen to a person sat on chair showing us lines on a chart.
A load of cherry picked nonsense
ADD TO THIS THE ACTUAL ONGOING CONSEQUENCIAL COSTS OF BREXIT AND THE CHARTS WOULD SEEM TO PAINT A VERY DIFFERENT PICTURE! WHY NOT ALSO FEATURE THE LACK OF UK GROWTH POST-PANDEMIC COMPARED TO OTHER COUNTRIES WITHIN THE EU?
I presume that Tariff charges are part of general taxation that supports government spending. If tariffs are eliminated, who then is left to pay that portion of Government income.
Oh great, so England is booming after Brexit. Good to know..

Yeah great! And there was me thinking we were all fkd. That's what I get for believing my own lying eyes.
If your rich you have done very well, its everyone else that has suffered, but the right wing never care a toss for everyone else except at election time.
yes this silly lady is talking total rubbish normal for these tufften street loons ..jeff
Can you feel the Brexit boom?
If she worked for me and produced this kind of analysis, I would fire her.
Lies , damn lies, statistics... and Brexiters.
Odd to see Doom spelled with a B.
I'm not sure who they are trying to convince?
It seems that she has found lots of ways to tell us to ignore our own personal direct experience of the "achievements" of Brexit and simply believe her "analysis" that everything is going swimmingly well. No doubt she is a much better economist than those of Goldman Sachs and the IMF for instance.
I don't know who gave this video the title "The Brexit Boom?" - i guess someone who didn't watch it! A better description would be "Brexit - less economic impact than expected?"
Graphs like at 7:09 are not particularly encouraging, as they seem to show exports barely keeping up with inflation, rather than growing.
I don't like the way the concerns of farmers were used to promote Brexit, but now they aren't being listened to by the government since then. Remain-voters and the government of 2015/16 were told to listen to their concerns and take them seriously, and now in this video farmers' concerns are dismissed as they should be "more efficient"
Would like to know how many of these "economists" have read Adam Smith's The Theiry of Moral Sentiments.
Whilst it's important to remember who are funders of the Institute of Economic Affairs it's also worth bearing in mind that their personnel are a well-educated bunch of professionals and academics who are passionate in the pursuit of accurate information. Whether or not you remain pro- or anti-Brexit after hearing this, you can't say you haven't been told.
You need to look at the small export companies to see if brexit has improved their order books.
Sorry but farmers, fish industry, car manufacturers are out of jobs steel what crap is this
Don't mention that bit. We didn't those industries anymore.
What about companies like Dyson who design here but get a 3rd party to manufacture in a different country. Is that goods or services? It's not explained in the first third of the video.
No mention on small business or fishing industry
This is pure comedy. I`d laugh if it were`nt so serious. `The big blue line and the big red line`, WTF.
UK car production was 1.7 million in 2016, its now 930,000. All due to Brexit ? No. Partly due to Brexit? Yes
Electioneering from the Tories' favourite Tufton Street parasitical lobbyist.
British,export are down import are up more ask, farmer , small business, fish, all industries, plus music, living standards are down next to the rest of all eu ,it sh,,,all new deals were the same or worse,,, liars ,who paying this woman ?
How on earth is it the taxpayer paying for the costs of export in your fantasy story? There's no clarification on that loose remark.

good luck on your fantasy economy god uk people is getting scud but dont worry you can always blame it on everybody else
And that’s why you can’t believe a word these deluded people say.
agree is been good for the super rich
Really? I suspect it's been bad even for most of those. Only a few disaster capitalists benefited here; most will have lost (even if their losses are largely irrelevant to their lives, unlike those of the lowly peons that get to suffer for the mistakes of their superiors).
And zero checks on EU imports to date ..
Race to the bottom lying ahead for English farmers … and consumers .. methinks

Great video. Confirms Brexit was good for the UK. Imagine if we could move towards becoming Singapore on Thames, reducing alignment to the EU?
confirms nothing....pro brexit IEA pick and choose the stats that gullible brexiteers want to see!
Singapore on Thames? What does that even mean? Well, it means removal of our workers rights, removal of many of our human rights and removal of many of the public services that so many depend upon.
There's plenty of money in the UK. The problem is that more and more and more of it is being concentrated in the pockets of a smaller and smaller number of ultra rich persons who are able to completely avoid taxation and then move that money offshore to tax havens.
Funnily enough, the EU was actually quite keen on putting a stop to this practice and was demanding that the UK put measures in place to prevent this practice from happening...
The EU shut that down within months of the Vote in 2016 and have been actively getting EU financial products transferred within the block why do you think our currency fell 30% against the Euro?
Next thing to go is 3.5 trillion in Euro clearing due now at end of 2025
And the rest of the UK?
What a charlatan channel!
