BRITAIN has executed the “great escape” and will perform “extremely well” after voting to leave the clutches of the EU, a world leading economist has boasted.

Roger Bootle bragged that Britain’s vote to leave the EU was not a disaster like many economists had predicted.

The managing director of economic research consultancy Capital Economics said: “The economy is not that bad, but pessimism sells better than optimism.

"You could be forgiven for thinking the UK is going to hell in a handcart — well, it isn't. Things are actually looking pretty good.”

Mr Bootle labelled the single market as a “disaster” and slammed its “fading” importance.

Even by the European Commission’s own predictions, “over the next 10 to 15 years, 90 per cent of world demand will be generated outside Europe” – highlighting its regressing status.
