EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

single issue voters!

Yes and no. Yes, the biggest issue is Brexit, but that's such a big issue that it has a knock on effect on pretty much everything else.

For e.g. Labours industrial strategy does rather depend on having industries here - an example might be Nissan Sunderland and electronic cars. The plan was (as they have a battery facility there, and make the Leaf) to develop that site as the EU eCar production facility.

But, with the loss of the single market Sunderland will see out the Qashqai and then be mothballed.

Corbyn's manifesto was fully costed - but, and it's an important but - based on the economy that we used to have. He won't be able to afford it, based on what's coming down the pipe, and his unofficial spokespeople are now talking about Capital Controls being instituted to prevent gross outflows that will exacerbate the situation.
