Re: Britain outside the EU
I think this makes for uncomfortable reading whichever way you went in the referendum.

Brexit causing 'increased costs, paperwork, delays' say MPs

UK firms have been hit by "increased costs, paperwork and border delays" as a result of Brexit, MPs have said.

A report from parliament's spending watchdog, the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), said it "was clear" that leaving the EU was having an impact on UK trade volumes.

It also warned things could worsen this year as new import controls come in.

The government said it continued to ensure businesses "got the support they need to trade effectively with Europe".

"One of the great promises of Brexit was freeing British businesses to give them the headroom to maximise their productivity and contribution to the economy - even more desperately needed now on the long road to recovery from the pandemic," said PAC chair Meg Hillier.

"Yet the only detectable impact so far is increased costs, paperwork and border delays."
