We simply felt it was a price worth paying to be out of the EU, personally i expect to be worse off for a good decade maybe more but in time greater prosperity will be enjoyed by my kids.

If your kids live in Northern Ireland then they will be better off thanks to May's Magic Money Tree. Otherwise they won't be. We paid 0.6% of GDP for EU membership and got increased GDP of 10% back in return.

Meanwhile, the car industry is suffering a huge lack of investment post-Brexit vote. Let's hope it recovers as it's a significant employer in the UK.

Investment in UK car industry plummets amid Brexit uncertainty
Investment in the UK car industry has fallen to just £322m in the first half of 2017, in a sign that companies are delaying or cancelling spending ahead of the UK leaving the EU.
Investment in the UK car industry last year was £1.66bn, which was down from the £2.5bn in investment recorded in 2015, as carmakers and their suppliers delayed non-essential investment following the EU referendum last June.
But investment looks to have fallen even further in the first six months of 2017, according to figures compiled by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders industry body.
