I feel like your post is a strawman. First, tons of especially finance jobs have left the UK. I don't think anyone ever thought "all" the jobs, or even a majority of them, would leave, especially when it's obvious huge banks can't just pack up overnight (or even in many years), but there is an undeniable deflation of finance activity. One reference: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/mar/29/brexit-finance-jobs-london-eu-ey-paris-frankfurt-dublin https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/mar/29/brexit-fina...
And I never read anything that had people predicting tech would leave en mass. It generally seems like a mixed bag, with tech being relatively strong, but especially not reaping anywhere near the original promised benefits of Brexiteers: https://www.euronews.com/next/2023/02/01/brexit-3-years-on-the-uks-tech-and-innovation-sector-is-yet-to-see-the-promised-sunlit-upl https://www.euronews.com/next/2023/02/01/brexit-3-years-on-t...
