in the year of the referendum the NHS budget was £136.9bn in 2020/21 it was £212.1 that's £75.2bn extra, £1.45bn per week. Would you say that the suggestion to spend £350m per week more on the NHS has been taken up?

'something about a pandemic'

TTT doesn't read the news, apparently.

well all the 5th columnists ignore the pandemic with their evaluations of government, brexit etc so I thought that was the done thing. Even if you disregard the extra for the Pandemic we are spending over £200m, more a week on the NHS, and that figure is what is often bandied about as our net contribution to the EUSSR.

[Hymie]

Er.. no, just in case you are not aware of the disaster Brexit is for the UK; as of the end of 2019 Brexit is estimated to have reduced the UK GDP by £130 billion – that amount lost would pay for the additional NHS funding for almost 2 years.

[webbo3]

Is there a link for those figures^

[ToraToraTora]

yes see the OP.

[dannyk13]

Hymie, just in case you haven't noticed the NHS has received extra billions this year.

[ToraToraTora]

sorry webbo thought you meant me.

[ToraToraTora]

Hymie, you are disregarding the pandemic. GDP may well have fallen but It's naff all to do with Brexit. The GDP of all the countries of the world has fallen, is that brexit too?

[THECORBYLOON]

TORATORATORA, you're not suggesting that we didn't send £350m to the EU each week are you??????

[Hymie]

The UK loss in GDP as a direct result of Brexit is not some secret, or something I’ve made up (although I have claimed that the £130 billion in losses as of the end of 2019 will have more than doubled by now) – you just need to google it.

[ToraToraTora]

show me your evidence hymie.

[ToraToraTora]

so hymie, the pandemic has had zero effect on GDP then? Right oh!

[bobbinwales]

I queried hymies figure yesterday and she said she wasn't going to find it but it's there on Google. I'm sure it's one of those figures some consultant could come up with any figure they wanted

[THECORBYLOON]

From last October

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2021-10-28/brexit-latest-leaving-eu-worse-for-u-k-economy-outlook-than-covid-lockdowns

"Leaving the European Union will reduce the size of the British economy by about 4% in the long run, with the pandemic cutting GDP by a further 2%, according to the U.K. Office for Budget Responsibility’s latest forecasts."

They expect Brexit to have double the effect on GDP as COVID.

[ToraToraTora]

bob, Hymie assumes that any GDP reduction is zero to do with the pandemic and 100% to do with Brexit. That cannot be true no stat exists to support that it's just the hysterics of a standard 5th columnist.

For TORATORATORA
"Leaving the European Union will reduce the size of the British economy by about 4% in the long run"

For those of you who are unaware of how to use google – use this link found from a google search as a start:

https://fullfact.org/europe/online-cost-brexit-net-contributions/

[ToraToraTora]

from that link: //Lots of Full Fact readers have asked us to check a number of posts on social media which have claimed that “the economic cost of Brexit now exceeds what we’ve net paid-in to the EU over 47 years”.

While it’s difficult to put a single, definitive figure on the economic impact of Brexit, these claims don’t currently add up. They are based on figures which actually show the UK’s net contributions are higher than an estimated economic cost so far.// - so you own link says you are talking BS.
