A bit more than that actually: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/nov/28/uk-signific... We don't really know what the second-order effects will be, such as the brightest people moving abroad and companies permanently closing or leaving, as well as the general loss of influence.

I expect that we'll regain the 20% fairly quickly once the virus threat abates, but the Brexit loses are a permanent drag.

Anyway as I said in my comment above, we don't fully know, but we're sure going to find out soon enough.

the exact same story a year later says 6.7%: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2019/oct/17/uk-lost-gdp...

so what do you think they were modelling? nothing at all?

a reduction in growth is not a overall loss, sorry
