    During the Brexit campaign, a now rather infamous bus promised that £350 million would be sent to the NHS. This so-called "Brexit dividend" would see money diverted from the EU to the National Health Service. That's a big promise and a lot of money but did it really happen?

      Increased spending to NHS is to give lucrative contracts to private suppliers including American multinational care providers/insurance companies and inflated profits to share holders. I would guess that privatisation of the NHS roughly 25% will have drained the increases from care and health to private proffit

They top the heatlh league. If you include scottish NHS, the NHS doesn't even make the top 20 and the trend is down.

      Anecdotal evidence on its own is not evidence.
      Let me show you how to do anecdotal evidence,
      Since 2010 the tories have held down wages and made poverty worse.
      They did this by deliberately holding down public sector pay.
      They reduced the income bands for tax credits supporting less people.
      They decimated widows benefit making it far harder for widows who had lost their partner and had children.
      They introduced the bedroom tax to force people out of their homes.
      They reduced the number of children that tax credits covers sending more people into poverty
      They did such a bad job of benefit reforms they created fake testimonials on the back of their leaflets (AKA lying)
      They added a sadistic 5 week waiting list into tax credits which again meant that the people it was meant to help it didn’t.
      We’ve had the NI hike recently
      And finally the dementia tax for social care.
      You see the tories care about two things, money and power and if you think after all the cuts that there’s 90% too much staff you are deluded. The opposite is true. People in the public sector are overworked and underpaid
      Like my wife. She left the NHS after 29 years. When she left this year her hourly rate was 40p more than next years minimum wage.
      40p.
      The facts and cutbacks and job cuts (45,000 police jobs alone) don’t speak of thousands and thousands of people doing nothing. All you are doing is repeating ancient Tory ideology, and, to be frank, I for one am getting sick of it.

    The UK's net contribution to the EU was £8.5 billion. Now, UK businesses need to pay £7.5 billion per year to deal with red tape introduced by Brexit (according to government figures, others put it closer to £20 billion). The UK also nees 50,000 additional customs officers to deal with that red tape and with checking imports from the EU. They will cost an additional £1.3 to £1.7 billion per year, adding up to 8.8 to 9.2 billion per year, so already a loss of £300 to £700 million per year instead of the pormised £350 million gained per week. That doesn't even include a single business selling less or moving outside of the UK.

      The thing is that what it would be hard for a court to decide what is misinterpreting data. For instance, see the Big Mac Index. Is that misinterpreting GDP data? Is it misinterpreting currency value data?
      Research in econometrics commonly includes transforming data in a way that the researcher thinks is the best way to answer their research question. This is always a biased decision, the best thing a researcher can do is be aware of themselves to make sure to minimize bias. Peer-reviewing also attests that at least two experts in the area agree that there's nothing absurd and that it is worth publishing, plus the editor which is an all-around expert in the general field that the journal publishes.
      But these are three (sometimes four) people that may also be biased. In fact, if they decided to publish, they *were* biased in some way. Every scientific journal worth its money gets way more submisssions than it has the capacity to publish and has to ignore a ton of good research. The decision to publish one manuscript, but not the other, is surely a product of, among many things, the emotions of the reviewers and the editor.

      Higher food/energy prices, lower global trade, a shrinking economy and higher inflation were all once dismissed as 'Project Fear'. Even with all of that coming to fruition, most Brexiteers remain firmly entrenched in their belief and stand by the choice. As Michael Gove famously said about Brexit, "The people of this country have had enough of experts". Facts mean nothing to those people unfortunately, simple to understand narratives take priority over the truth, especially if those narratives appeal to their nationalism and anti-foreigner sentiment.

Judging by the writings of people like Dr. Anthony Daniels a.k.a.

If the increased post-Brexit funding of the NHS, whatever the amount, went only to hiring yet more bureaucrats, then it's hard for me to see that this was actually a benefit. Does anyone have any information on how much additional money is now available that actually benefits patients, as opposed to administrators? For instance, are wait times for doctors and procedures improved or worse?

    The NHS trust at my mother’s hospital is literally making lots of staff re-apply for their own jobs, that as well as inviting people to re-write their job descriptions so they can be “reassessed”, all so they can hand out salary CUTS to save money. It’s a scandal. They’ve also been drowning admin staff by refusing to rehire positions in depts where people have quit or retired so the work load gets even larger for remaining staff, productivity suffers, and the calls to replace the vacancies get repeatedly ignored. OH! And to top it off, might be time to dock your salary when you’re taking your work home and working through weekends just to keep heads above water. So much for extra funding!!🤨 everytime I hear these stories I don’t understand why it’s not national news because it really is a scandal.

    Glad to see the channel grew. Less than an hour and already 110 comments. Anyway, good analysis, although I'd argue that covid made everything more complicated. Every country put more money in the health sector in 2020 and 2021. Perhaps a good analysis would be: how much was added relative to similarly rich and/or similarly affected countries.
    One other thing that I'd like to point out is that access to the European Single Market is not a subjective issue in an economic analysis. It's objective, there's real and countable money coming in and going out of the UK. What would be subjective is, for instance, the impact of the closed borders on the quality of health professionals and researchers.

    • @davenorth1265

      Great point. That's a huge report though with so many varying factors. My mind was immediately drawn to thinking how I would quantify the costings for the EU countries that had their PPE stolen en-route by other EU countries. Same as how the countries reported Coronavirus deaths and instances back in the beginning, we all have different metrics. It would take decades to sift. You have got to stop somewhere and that in itself leads to incomplete data, where do you stop without displaying bias? .

      So if there is objectively less trade with the EU. Which you can calculate the value added of. And you can calculate if there is an increase in trade with non EU countries. But difficult to say if that were Brexit related or not. So subjective.
      And even more subjective to calculate what we do domestically with the spare resource from not trading with the EU. Assuming that "lost" work isn't replaced with thumb twiddling (which given unemployment figures it isn't) but other value added work. Import substitution etc.

      Germany hasn't got a central NHS but a rather complex two-tier system.
      Most people are insured with "Gesetzliche Krankenkassen" - statutory health insurance companies. They are mandatory for workers and employees with salaries up to roughly 4,800 €/month. The monthly payment to this is roughly 15% of the salary, to be split between the employer and the employee.
      Higher paid employees and self-employed people can opt out of this and buy private health insurance instead. Those calculate their prices according to age and state of health, not as a percentage of income - which usually makes them very cheap initially but more expensive later.
      The state usually stays out of the insurers' funding but heavily regulates how they operate and occasionally props up a statutory health insurer in need of help.
      So to Germans, the idea of linking a trade bloc to health insurance sounds pretty suspect...

    Brexit saves a net contribution of 0.3% GDP.
    It also wiill result in a 4% lower GDP by the most conservative estimate, resulting in £40bn lost tax revenues.
    On top come additional costs for 50,000 customs officers, duplications of agencies, replacement of IT systems and data bases at tax payers expense.
    On top comes the additional burdens for private individuals and businesses, such as duplication of CE mark, custons paperwork, veterinary checks, rules of origin, re-structuring of supply chains, visas etc.
    Plus the loss of benefits and opportunities for many people, like EHIC, roaming charges, 90/180 visa rules, required tax residency when staying more than 180/360, recogniti8n of qualificatuons a.s.o. Wealthy people won't be deterred by that, but many less wealthy will lose.
    On top comes the internal division and possible Scottish independence.

    To my mind, the biggest myth on the side of the red bus was the implication that the amount paid by the UK to the EU formed a significant proportion of the UK annual budget. I would be very happy if someone is able to confirm or correct the following. The annual net UK contribution to the EU in 2016 of between £8.1 billion and £9.4 billion was between 1% and 1.2% of the total UK annual budget of around £814.6 billion (see Office of National Statistics, The UK contribution to the EU budget). This percentage is a more important statistic than the actual amount. The UK payment was something which the UK could afford, and insignificant compared to the benefit that the UK received from free access to the Single Market, regulatory compliance, and the passporting arrangements for UK companies in the finance and banking sectors. Boris Johnson acknowledged this in his celebrated pro-Remain draft article: “This is a market on our doorstep, ready for further exploitation by British firms. The membership fee seems rather small for all that access. Why are we so determined to turn our back on it?” he wrote.
