The Brexit vote was about sovereignty and democracy. Everyone expected an immediate economic hit. This was assured by the government, Bank of England, and even Barack Obama.

Well, the economic catastrophe didn't happen. Rather than an immediate loss of 500,000 - 800,000 jobs on voting Leave, as Mark Carney promised, instead UK enjoys the highest rate of employment since before entering the EEC. Rather than economic collapse, UK is now projected to be the fastest growing European G7 country after Brexit. The ONS has just released very encouraging economic figures on job, wages, and borrowing.
