On the economic consensus being horribly wrong:

Dear David

I really enjoyed reading this very positive article about the UK economy which was written by a distinguished and well-informed commentator.

All the points he makes sound good sense to me. The most surprising thing is the newspaper in which it was published, the rabidly anti-Brexit Independent. Maybe some newspapers are at last tiring of their own negativity!

Best wishes

David Fuller's view

Thanks for this and more people in the UK now hold similar views, than at the time of the referendum. 

The biggest risk, in my opinion, would be a frustratingly long exit from the EU, which would increase uncertainty, not least within both the UK and international business communities.  I hope the Supreme Court will bear this in mind and decide on what is best for the UK under the current circumstances.  However, if it rules that legislation is required before notice of Brexit is served – a debatable legal point - I think the additional delay would be both divisive and more costly for the UK economy.
