This is an effort that has been underway since 2020. The story of Brexit has not ended as the world is in unchartered territory. Economic and political cooperation to solve transnational challenges are more important than ever. A longer 🧵 on the results bsky.app/profile/elea...

This paper is obviously relevant today, as we mark the 10th anniversary of Brexit, but I don't want to add to the plethora of takes on current events. Instead, let me zoom out and disucss the (fairly nuanced) implications of our analysis both for understanding British politics over the last decade

This is a heck of a thread with a 👀 punchline: 'Areas that voted most strongly for Leave have not suffered the largest economic costs. The correlation is weakly negative as Remain-voting areas (London, Scottish cities, university towns) bore the brunt. Brexit was a levelling up by levelling down'

Brexit has cost the UK economy roughly 7-8% and the effects were more severe in Scotland and London, two regions which did not vote for Brexit: “Brexit was a levelling up by levelling down”

Britain did become more economically equal as a result of Brexit. By levelling down. Presumably, this is a good thing, if you are into the Spirit Level and all that?
