Five years of Brexit reshaped Britain

I was listening to some report about the economic effects which said that the economic impact of increased immigration had somewhat offset the negative impact s of Brexit :-)

As for finance, it seems a complicated area. Some UK companies seem to list on the NYSE now which is a reminder that when we lose things they don't only have to be lost to the EU.

To be fair, basically every large EU company appears to be moving towards a US listing, as the pool of capital available is much, much larger.

Brexit probably helped that though. ie. the net effect of Brexit might have weakened both Britain AND the EU

Yeah, there's definitely a world where all EU/European businesses centralised in London. Honestly though, short term national interests have stopped that happening for 30 years now, so I don't expect any changes here (even though it's probably the best thing the EU/Europe could do to help more new tech businesses get off the ground).
