The survey found that the proportion of people expecting the economy to fare better over the next ten years as a result of Brexit has fallen to 29% from 39% last July.
Meanwhile, the proportion who think the UK's economic prospects have got worse has risen from 42% to 53%, resulting in a net balance of -24% — down sharply from the -3.5% last July.
The data also shows that the country's lowest income group has shifted from being the most optimistic about the economic impact of Brexit to the most pessimistic.
"Whereas opinions on the long-term impact of Brexit were finely balanced in the immediate aftermath of last June’s vote (albeit leaning towards pessimism), a negative view of the economic consequences has become increasingly apparent and widespread."Pessimism has now spread to all age groups and income brackets. Shortly after the referendum, the older generations and the very poorest families were the exceptions in considering Brexit to be beneficial to the long-term health of the economy. However, even these pockets of the population have now become pessimistic.
"The most marked turnaround is evident among the poorest paid, who have switched from being the most optimistic to now being the most downbeat."
(findings are based on a representative cross-section of the British population that participate in the monthly Markit Household Finance Index, which is compiled from data from 1,500 respondents collected by polling firm Ipsos MORI)

Brexit to be triggered tomorrow - what if the severance deal is a bad one for the UK?"
Hmm It’s going to be interesting to say the least - watching the imperial masters trying it on with seasoned EU political class who are in the driving seat on this one - and who put them there ? those who are taking back control - ha.I think Ulster / unified Ireland and Scotland will figure in this - I suspect the EU will use them as bargaining chips and may even have a mind to destroy the United bit - who'd have thought - surrounded by enemies - again.
Maybe continents are too complicated to be understood by anecdotes. To be fair, the only racism I've ever been on the receiving end of has been doled out by Frenchmen.

They should have used the result (and if anyone comes out with the term "clear mandate" on a result with 1.9% difference then may a plague strike down your house) to go back to the EU and negotiate a better deal then see what people felt. As for suddenly being a worldwide trade demon, what exactly do we trade?? Small volume engineering?? Service and banking?? The UK is about to finally hit the realisation that we're now but a bit part like we were centuries ago, cut adrift from the mainland as the EU tears itself apart. I will watch with baited breath from overseas to see the result on the financial markets tomorrow,

The EU’s chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, said an “ambitious free-trade agreement between the UK and EU” was possible if the two sides can first reach agreement on the ‘divorce bill’, EU citizens’ rights and Northern Ireland’s border.
I think there will be a deal that keeps the UK in the free trade area in return for some cash and adherence to EU laws in certain areas. The fact that David Davis says EU immigration will probably rise post Brexit gives you a hint that there is a deal in the offing. As I have said a zillion times before the UK is a special case and will probably end up with a unique 'membership package' not available to another country. May will say we've left - the EU will say we haven't - the world will keep turning and Brexit will be over.

I'll put it bluntly, the EU is no golden god however for most lower paid workers and decent hardworking folk most workers rights we attained and improved over the last 30 years have come from the EU. Maternity pay, paternity pay, half decent sick leave. After we've left all these will be eroded and people will be on zero hour, flexible working contracts lauded as some amazing new system that saves them taxes but removes all workers rights. I just hope the NHS can stay sustained after all this as believe me when I say, the last thing you want is an insurance based system. Anyone who thinks that will be an improvement is quite simply an idiot.

As for free movement of people that is easily fixed by changing it to free movement of labour and students and having cap to prevent a surge in economic migrants - France is calling for this as are German trade unions. Slight tweak to the rules.
