  I wish I could find the video about some seafood business owner who was spending so much more money paying to ship out the mussels and other live seafood to the EU that she was having to sell her livestock on her farm to pay all the additional paperwork, she still didn't want to admit that she regretted her exit vote. She was selling one cow at a time to try and stay afloat but couldn't admit her mistake.

It's kinda like it was a bad idea. If only we'd known at the time!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Economists and analysts at Cambridge Econometrics - commissioned by London's mayor, Sadiq Khan - have modelled how the UK's economy would have acted were it still in the European Union.
Shyamoli Patel, principal economist at Cambridge Econometrics, said: "Our study reveals that London's economy would have grown faster if Brexit hadn't taken place.
Looking ahead, we project that Brexit will continue to have an impact on the UK and London economies in the medium term."
Mr Khan is set to use the report to make the case for a closer relationship with Europe on Thursday evening at Mansion House.
Mr Khan will add: "The cost of Brexit crisis can only be solved if we take a mature approach and if we are open to improving our trading arrangements with our European neighbours.
With a general election looming, Brexit will be an issue used to attack Labour and its leader Sir Keir Starmer, who backed a second referendum.
