IMF forecast: 'Botched Brexit deal' contributing to economic malaise

Responding to the latest IMF World Economic Outlook, in which the UK ranked last among G7 countries in projected economic performance, Layla Moran, Lib Dem MP and member of the UK Trade and Business Commission said,

“This isn’t rocket science. The UK is the only developed economy with the added pressures of Brexit where businesses face extra costs, mountains of new red tape and amplified labour shortages.

“Our economy will continue to underperform until this incompetent Conservative government owns up to and fixes the issues caused by their botched Brexit deal.”
