The Ghost of Two Summers Future

The ‘Stay’ campaign has presented countless arguments why an exit from the “comfort” of the European Union would propel the United Kingdom into a dystopian future. We have been warned that it would disrupt trade, raise food and energy bills, increase prices for our airline tickets and, generally, leave us so much worse off than were we to simply stay put in the EU.
