(Sharecast News) - The impact of Brexit on the UK economy will be worse than that caused by the pandemic, according to the chairman of the UK fiscal watchdog.

British car production has fallen to its lowest levels since the Thatcher recession and the industrial strife that met her economic reforms in the early 1980s. Just 67,000 cars came off the assembly lines in September, according to latest figures, a fall of 41.5 per cent year-on-year and the worst performance since 1982 when British Leyland phased out the Austin Allegro, Vauxhall was dropping the Chevette and Ford ditched its bestselling Cortina. - The Times
