How long until we see the effects of Brexit?

Question

We are in some phoney war phase - when will we see the effects - good or bad?

Jacks Ans · Answer

It depends on what you mean by "effects", plague of giant man eating Frogs, half our motorways near the channel ports being used as a giant lorry park, food shortages in the shops, no clean running water, drug shortages, civil strife on the Irish border, I don't know its hard to say, as allot depends on these up and coming trade talks with the EU as no doubt there will be some winners and losers, who and by how much is anybodies guess.

Whatever the effects that Brexit has on Britain will for most people be long and drawn out.

I spoke with a couple of estate agents who said that they are selling properties at record speeds.

Trouble at'mill already happening: One of the UK's Brexit-mad MEPs has been moaning about the lack of influence the UK will have over the EU after the end of this month. The MEP fears that they will use the long transition period to wreck the UK's fishery industry. That's why Farage wanted an instant leaving of the EU.

The EU have said they won't start talks till the end of Feb after their "half-term" break. 
This will give Boris the perfect opportunity to blame them for dithering when he and the Nasty Party, by dint of their usual fudge, fumble and furcup, fail to arrive at any semblance of a favourable deal by the end of the year! THAT'S when the Brexshit hits the fan big-time and it is NOT going to be good!

You'll see the first, minor effects within three months, but, as you haven't actually left yet, not much more for about a year, if Boris does what he says (which I doubt) then by this time next year you will start to see the downward slide, good luck...

We have already suffered as a result of the Brexit uncertainty, investment stalled and there have been ongoing currency fluctuations. The final outcome will depend on the trade deals secured and how long it takes to secure them. To get a quick deal with the EU the UK will have to commit to what is effectively the status quo. The non EU trade deals will be interesting as the UK will lack the scale of the single market as leverage.

Long term the viability of the union in its current form is likely to be under scrutiny in Scotland and the Six counties.

Biff · Answer

Trade deals must be secured with the EU and elsewhere so it won't be until the end of the year that things will become clearer. But the government's declared intention to abandon EU regulations could drive some industries, notably the car industry, to cut or end production in the UK before then. Vauxhall's Ellesmere Port car plant could be an early victim.
