After Brexit vote anyone heard about job losses

gfplux

Now we are definately Brexit the predictions of falling pound and unstable stock markets are happening.
However are there any other rumours or facts you have heard.

Some predicted some Company's would pull out of the UK. Others said inward investment would dry up. Even others predicted the Chinese would stop buying London property and also not send their Children to be educated in the UK.

So has anyone heard any rumours or anecdotes of the Brexit effect.
I have not yet but I will post here if I do.

I think people who make those sorts of decisions within six hours of having stayed up all night to follow the result of the vote are the sorts of people you wouldn't want to work for anyway.

Longer term, there will be more job losses than the dishonest leave campaigners would have had you believe, and fewer than the dishonest remain campaigners would have had you believe.

I believe that Cameron has lost his job so yes, the 'remain' camp predictions of job losses are true.

I can confidently predict that this year, there will be job losses just as there has been in every year that we have been a member of the EU.

The ramifications of todays result will not just occur in the next day or two - it's over the next decade or two we will feel the effects most strongly.

I don't know if this is under the umbrella of market turbulence

I agree with your first paragraph but would point out that many Company's have had contingency plans in place in case of Brexit (wouldn't you like to work for an employer who plans) so with Brexit now a fact those plans might begin to leak out.

A lot will also depend to what can or can't be negotiated over the next 2 years. In any case it's going to be a right mess.

The first words that my wife said to me. She is French and was listening to French news.
"We won't be able to visit England again"
I reassured her this was not true.....yet

Knives out for Corbyn already. No surprise. He was basically anonymous in the campaign. Labour do not represent their voters anymore, and Corbyn kind of represents ... who exactly?
