Brexit at Ten: The Slow Subtraction That Reshaped Britain’s Economy

Britain didn’t crash out of the European Union. It leaked — slowly, quietly, for ten years.

A decade on from the referendum, the argument about Brexit has moved from prophecy to forensics, and the evidence is finally in. In this episode, we follow the money through the slow subtraction: the contested GDP estimates, ranging from the OBR’s 4% to Stanford’s 6–8%; the trade friction that turned one firm’s 40 annual customs transactions into 10,000; the investment that quietly went to Poland instead of the Midlands; a pound that never came home; and a record-high FTSE that is steadily losing its place in the world.

We also give the dissenters a fair hearing — because the case against the consensus isn’t made by cranks, and honest analysis tests its own conclusions.
