I don't enter into Brexit discussions as a rule, but coincidentally, I have in the last five minutes turned to page 3 of the FT to find an article headed "North East Business optimistic about EU exit".
Blah blah, then:
"The North East voted heavily for Brexit in the 2016 referendum, with all but one of the 12 local authority areas coming out for Leave. In business circles, support for Brexit is particularly noticeable among those with a strong entrepreneurial and individualistic streak."
Then various MDs etc saying why they feel positive, including one who currently deals with Nissan.
All titchy companies I think, but there it is. Apparently not everyone thinks we are doomed. What do I know, I'm no businessman.
The article above it, funnily enough, is "Housing price growth slows as Brexit uncertainty weighs on confidence".
