    No deal is just more torture as it's only the first step and she can't even get it voted on at the moment. Long term stress is going to cause health issues which will be a huge drain on the NHS, another thing putting the brexit dividend further into negative territory.

    The U.K. has just climbed 5 places in the 2019 UN happiness league. :)

    Not surprising.. with a daily serving of pure comedy gold and slapstick in our Parliament and No.10

    which is looking increasingly desperate as we near Reality Time.

    Then all the leave lies will evaporate and we'll be left with the situation that people are desperate to avoid.

    if leave lies haven't evaporated the very first morning after Farage backtracked on the 350 million per week for NHS, then they never will.

    remember, there's a rise in numbers of people who are flat-earthers, anti-vaxxers, moon landing deniers, etc.

    so it's no surprise that trump and brexit are also benefiting from this "trend" in society.

    The leavers are still waiting for brexit day when all the promises come true and their lives magically get better (rather than worse which is what will happen).

    Propert and rents crashing will make the majority better off.

    It’s only the older generation who don’t want a property crash, they will have to sell to pay for health care
    Nothing has been fixed since 2008, it was just pushed into the future

    they'll have to sell to pay for health care anyway, as NHS is being dismantled regardless of Brexit

    Not True at all. Property crashing won't hurt the older and wealthy much at all.
    It'll devastate the poor.

    Right, so why do you think the people who are orchestrating this will allow the majority to be better off?

    We had our best years in the EU, we're chancing our luck with undemocratic figures controlling everything from the shadows. Good luck.
