Julian Jessop, IEA Economics Fellow, has been quoted in The Express regarding Ex-Belgian Prime Minister, Guy Verhofstadt’s recent Tweet accusing Brexiteers of lying about the UK’s trading potential outside of the Single Market. Verhofstadt produced a table claiming that the UK’s trading flows had fallen behind other EU powers since 2006.
Julian took to Twitter to respond to Verhofstadt’s claims.
