However, your statement that it's not having an impact is a sub-optimal interpretation of actuality..

Remain said it during the referendum. WWIII? Doom and Gloom? The world as we know would end? The latter not in so many words but they meant the same.

Depends on what you envisage world war three to be like. I remember reading a very good account of what a field Marshall believed it would look like and it involved very little use of nuclear weapons on towns or cities, in fact if you didn't live in Germany, Kiev or Birmingham your chances of survival were very high.

Oh did Cameron not say there would be world war 3?
Did they not predict doom and gloom?
Did they not predict a recession?

Actually he didn't predict WW2. He made a clumsy attempt at the idea that Britain is bound to Europe and has had to go in before because of what has happened there and will have to do so again.

Doom and Gloom were predicted as was a recession but those are all still on the cards at the moment.

Doom and gloom is quite likely, regardless of the UK's relationship with the EU not because of it. The last time I felt this pessimistic about the future was back in the 70's. :erm:

All quiet on the western front. Looks like no cash for the NHS after Brexit as the Government says all schemes currently funded by the EU will continue after we leave. That is, those agreed before the Autumn Statement so far the cost is £4.6 bn.

Surely those funded wouldn't mind losing a bit for the sake of the NHS? Maybe not.

Enjoy these two entries from the Guardian politics liveblog this morning:

8:09am: UK jobless claims expected to rise following Brexit vote – Economists polled by Reuters are expecting a 9,500 jump in claims

9:34am: A big surprise in the labour market data: the number of people claiming unemployment benefits fell by 8,600 in July, a month after the Brexit vote. No sign yet then that the Brexit vote is hurting the jobs market…
