Theresa May is facing accusations of “rehashing Project Fear” after it emerged that Treasury forecasts show that Britain will be £150bn worse off under a no-deal Brexit.
A cross-Government analysis is expected to show that under the Chequers agreement, which forms the basis of her deal, the UK’s GDP will be between 1 and 2 per cent lower over 15 years than if it had stayed in the EU.
Dominic Raab, the former Brexit Secretary, said: “There is an economic credibility gap with all these Treasury-led forecasts, based on their track record of failure, the questionable assumptions they rely on, and the inherent challenge of making reliable long-term forecasts. Politically, it looks like a rehash of Project Fear. People expect to be inspired, not scared witless into deferring to the government. Whenever Whitehall make forecasts for leaving the EU on WTO terms, it’s always the same. They rely on the most pessimistic assumptions, and airbrush out the opportunities of leaving with full regulatory control and the ability to strike free trade deals around the world.”
“Remaining in the EU would be a better outcome for the economy, but not by much” – Chancellor Philip Hammond says “Theresa May’s Brexit deal “is very close” to the economic benefits of being in the EU”.

We see new borders emerge and old legacy borders need modernization.
At the same time international cross-border crime acknowledes no borders.
The clients are out there. People need help. You need to travel to see them. I have done so the last twenty years.
As long as I can contribute I will continue with both the advisory work, project implementation and my academic research work to make world trade faster, safer and more predictable. That is a promise, and I always keep my promises.
How I loved that book when I read it the first time many, many years ago.
