So it seems like they have been spot on? TFA quotes the OBR as estimating a 4% negative impact and the CEFR estimate of -5.5% cumulative impact.

- mike_hearn 4mo agoThere has been no negative impact. Every claim of negative impact falls apart when investigated. I wrote about one example on another thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48473246 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48473246 The actual data doesn't support any of these estimates.

This kind of motivated reasoning is everywhere in this debate. Quite annoying.
