Autumn Statement: Any thoughts on UK’s medium term economic outlook? And if you were in my position (24yr-old, annual income at 49k, renting a studio flat with partner), what would you be focused on?

One thing I wonder is when these politicians who misled British people into brexit would be bold enough to tell the truth that it’s not working. The U.K. doesn’t have to be a high tax country but it is because we have basically closed off ourselves. Imagine the self-inflicted harm. Even the OBR says increase in net migration must be a crucial part of GDP growth. But the conservatives don’t know how to broach the subject because their campaign manifesto was built on reduction in net migration. The conservatives have destroyed this country. And I am skeptical that labour would be better.

Get out. The mix of Brexit, interest rates, demographics, etc is pretty bad for the UK. Medium term things will be bad and even worse in the long run

Netherlands or the Scabdinavian countries are good too. Close to the UK, you can work in English there, and the job market is quite dynamic

After Brexit I moved to the US. Sad because it’s home, but the economic outlook because of Brexit looks bad relative to what it would otherwise have been.

People are preoccupied with trade in goods now, but when you have an economy 10x larger moving to closer alignment on services too, then we’re really going to feel outside the tent.

Completely screwed unless a comprehensive trade deal is struck with the US and Canada.

Yes, but the UK has no power in these trade deal negotiations. The US and Canada are going to ask for A LOT in exchange of these agreements.

Look at the Australia deal. Basically no advantage for the UK, but lots of concession to the Australian farming sector, which will negatively impact British farmers.

I would advise you to go to a rich country, like UAE, Saudi, Bahrain. Plenty of expat jobs there and have had many friends do it and love the experience. The West is in terminal decline, don’t wait around for things to improve and definitely don’t fall for the meme of going to the US- trust me it’s worse there.
