Geopolitical impact of Brexit

If it is more profitable for us to produce more we can do so. It isn't like we don't produce anything.

As for richer or poorer we are the fastest growing G7 nation this year despite predictions for an immediate Brexit vote recession. I expect we will defy expectations and be the fastest growing European G7 nation at least next year too.

There is a much bigger chance that your economy will be shrinking, and not just next year but over the next decade. For the simple reason that you are narrowing the basis of the financial and services industries, without being able in the short or medium term to make up for that in manufacturing. Nobody is claiming that you aren't producing anything, but the reality is that you are producing too little and with too little spare capacity to have manufacturing fill the holes services and finance leave behind.
