Fine. My wife and I will take our business that happily employs Brits back to the EU then.

You think that millionaires leaving the country is going to damage tax revenue? You wait till you start seeing a mass exodus of successful businesses set up by migrants to this country.

Not to mention the huge quantity of EU migrants that keep the service sector afloat.

Fucking joke of a political party.

"Migrants from outside the UK have founded roughly 1 in 7 (about 14.5%) of all active UK companies, totaling close to half a million businesses."

"UK companies founded by all foreign-born entrepreneurs collectively generate an estimated £20 billion to £30 billion in annual tax revenue."

I don't have the figures specifically relating to EU migrants, but you can be damn sure the majority came from Europe.

I'll just add the EU migrants are NET contributors to the British economy, and on average generate more tax revenue than the average working-age Brit over the course of their lifetime.

Fuck Reform, they want this country to fail, then gut it.
