But why assume an "increased cost of living" ?Who would vote to be worse off? Of course we don't know that we will be worse off. Its a risk based decision. Its literally deal or no deal with noel edmonds - we've chosen to pick the mystery box and see whats in it rather than settle on 32K.
So I agree. No extension lets start as an independent nation on WTO terms and lets hope for the benefit of those most in need that the cost of essentials are still affordable.
The more well off can swallow the increased cost of living . Its those struggling that I would be concerned for.
Personally I will be fine, work in an industry with little impact of Brexit, kids remain EU citizens so retain the choice and I am in a healthy financial position due to my age . Its not about me though its about the UK population as a whole.
Only time will tell how it affects everyone else.
Time move on though and it pains me to says it but time to get it done.
Why not a "reduced cost of living" ?
The long list of tariff-reductions post-Brexit has been posted on this forum.
And in a few years time .... if the Government comes round to controlling all immigration
.... then house prices have the chance of stabilising.
(Surely housing costs are one of the biggest burdens on poorer people ?)
Personally I don't think many people will notice much difference in the short term.
But no doubt there will some particular item that makes headlines.
