SUPPORT for Brexit is as strong as ever after a new poll revealed a majority of Brits still think we were right to leave the EU.
Data shows that 46%of those asked think the UK made the right decision on June 23 last year – while 42% think we were wrong.
Support was unsurprisingly strongest among Ukip voters, with a whopping 91% backing the decision of the EU referendum.
In the YouGov poll, which asked “In hindsight, do you think Britain was right or wrong to vote to leave the European Union?”, the lowest number to say we were right were Lib Dem voters at 10%.
The survey was conducted last week, and sees support for Brexit up two percentage points since Theresa May triggered Article 50.

THE GLOBAL recovery and UK growth is helping boost firms at home and abroad as the much-feared economic slowdown has failed to materialise.
British manufacturing had their best quarter for exports since 2014, according to survey by British Chambers of Commerce
But businesses are being warned that rising inflation and the weak pound could hurt them in the coming year.
However it is the fall in the value of the currency in recent months that has helped make UK products more appealing to global buyers.
And that, coupled with continuing high levels of post-Brexit consumer confidence at home – despite dire Project Fear warning – has helped British firms.

Don't these people realise that 150 years from now all the Project Fear predictions might come true? They'll have the last laugh if it kills them. Gawd

The FT did report it - 2 years before the Telegraph....

And the FT did cover it, in 2015....

And because of that investment.

Birmingham-based chocolate maker Cadbury has warned jobs will be cut despite a £75m investment in its Bournville headquarters.
The money - earmarked for modernising machinery - will be released over three years and is expected to secure the future of the site.
But a spokesman for the firm said he believed there would be a reduction its workforce as a result of the changes.

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
Well it just had to happen didn't it. It was just too good to be true. Brexit was going so well but all good things come to an end don't they. The thought of escaping the EU's mafia emulating octopus tentacles was bound to become a pipe dream. Yes, the wheels were always going to come off sooner or later as our thoroughly magnanimous remainer chums gently tried to inform us if only we'd heard them.
Well it was nice while it lasted but sadly us swivel eyed, xenophobic, blinkered, deluded, Brexiteer loons must have known deep down inside that the day would come when our dreams of freedom would be cruelly dashed and stark reality would dawn upon us. It was surely just a question of when the worst would happen and I'm sad to admit that day has come:
Leaving the EU could offer new opportunities to "upgrade our economy", Jeremy Corbyn says.

Re: Brexit: Article 50 Has Been Triggered !
Corbyn has always been anti-EU. Hence his half-hearted attempts to campaign for Remain (which he had to do as most of his support that aren't the communist/stop the war lot are pro-EU).

Yes I know that but he'd managed to conceal it so well until now. He just had to open that big...

The penny has dropped.

British government realises Brexit is a mistake, official says
The British government is slowly realising Brexit is “an act of great self-harm” and that upcoming EU-UK negotiations must seek to limit the damage, the State’s top Brexit official has said.
The official, John Callinan, said on Thursday: “I see signs in the contacts that we’re having, both at EU level and with the UK, of a gradual realisation that Brexit in many ways is an act of great self-harm, and that the focus now is on minimising that self-harm.”
