Britain is on course for a "decade of disruption" in the wake of the vote to leave the European Union, a report has warned.

Brexit has delivered a "profound shock" to the UK's political and economic order which is likely to damage growth and living standards until 2030, according to centre-left think tank IPPR.

The report said the upheaval comes at a time when Britain's rapidly ageing population threatens to put new strains on the state, with the funding gap for adult social care expected to hit £13bn by 2030-31.

It said: "Brexit is the firing gun on a decade of disruption.

"Even as what we do and how we work changes, the UK is likely to remain trapped in a low growth, low interest rate decade driven by demographic shifts, productivity trends, weak investment, weak labour power, high levels of debt, and the headwinds of a slowing global economy.

a report has warned.

OMG, a "report".

Sounds serious. Maybe more serious than a "strongly worded letter", or a "recent study".

Yes; it will disrupt the EUs plan to become the unelected ruling nexus of the UK. Oh my, what a tragic outcome.

It will replace the grandiose scheme to import hundreds of thousands of muslims to perform tasks and menial labors the generally aging population cannot perform for themselves any more. Woe is me.

It will subvert the carefully crafted plans of the EU to become the master parasite of a once thriving economy now threatening to wander into uber-socialism, you know, that “better” system.

Yes, the eggheads are all in a tizzy over the upset of their plans. This is a major hazard of being the master race and intellectual and moral superiors that they just might have to get used to. I feel for them. Not.

GB imports plenty of Muzzies themselves. They don’t need the EU’s help on that.

If they’re calling them a center left you can bet it’s far left. The remain camp remind me so much of the Rats in this country. They are going to try everything they can to stop or slow Brexit because they know all the doom and gloom is BS. Just like the Rats know Trump has a good chance of fixing this country so they’ve thrown the kitchen sink at his election

The group who produced this study is funded by the EU, and was formerly headed by the head of the Remain campaign, Will Straw.

Trust me when I say no-one has a freakin clue what Brexit will lead to.

Because it would be so much better handcuffed to a whole stack of other countries with the same problems turned up to eleven.
