Britain voted to leave the EU nine years ago today.

Voters have been urged to avoid “a second helping of Nigel Farage’s easy answers” on the ninth anniversary of the Brexit referendum.

Despite mounting evidence of the huge economic damage that quitting the EU has done to the British economy, the Farage-led Reform UK are soaring ahead in the opinion polls.

According to some estimates, leaving the European single market has cost the British economy £115 billion per year and the public purse more than £40 billion annually.

The independent financial watchdog the Office for Budget Responsibility has also that the UK’s imports and exports will be 15% lower in the long-run than if Brexit had not happened.
