asset stripping before the assets run out

What do you mean by this? Asset-stripping by selling public assets to well-connected parts of the private sector was Tory party policy for decades. The privatisation of the Land Registry was announced somewhere in the middle of the Brexit chaos when nobody would notice it.

I'm not too happy about that either, but that's a different issue - especially when it's the UK private sector.

I'm talking EU funded projects that migrated industries out of the UK to other parts of the EU. If you argue that there was just as much inward migration, I wouldn't have the information to dispute it, but then who does such clarity when the waters are so muddied - I want assurances, and the EU has not been forthcoming wrt transparency of this kind.
