The plan was already in motion before brexit with repeated cuts to corporation tax. The future is hard to predict for sure and these are difficult times to be a ruler of this country.

So for a few years we'll have both limits on migration and be in the single-market with the single market benefits getting slowly removed.
It would stop any dramatic shock to both the EU and the UK whilst the EU get a lot of the big services firms and we limit migration.

considering how much we rely on services for GDP tho that would be a big shock to the UK.
