A vote to leave would cause an immediate and profound shock to the economy. The shock would push the economy into recession and lead to an increase in unemployment of around 500,000. GDP would be 3.6% smaller, average real wages would be lower, inflation higher, sterling weaker, house prices would be hit.

And those would just be the immediate effects of a Leave vote according to George Osborne’s Treasury five years ago. We're all doomed!

Don't say 'panic' amid fuel crisis, Cabinet Office warns councils
The government has advised councils not to use the phrases "panic" or "panic buying" about fuel supply problems, documents seen by the BBC reveal.
Slides prepared by the Cabinet Office's Behavioural Science Team also advised against using language that morally judges people buying petrol.
A Green Party council leader called the recommendations "nonsensical".
The government said it worked "closely with councils... on communications to encourage a co-ordinated response."
The advice sent to local authorities from central government comes after days of long queues at petrol stations which began after fears a lorry driver shortage would hit fuel supplies triggered a surge in demand.
In a power point presentation marked "official sensitive" the Cabinet Office warns against using the terms "panic", "panic buying" and "stockpiling".
The document - labelled "considerations for local authorities" - explains that people don't recognise their own behaviour as "panic buying" and that the use of such phrases can cause panic which can become contagious.
Instead it recommends using phrases like "filling up earlier than usual" or "changed patterns in demand".

Treasury minister branded 'ridiculous' after claiming HGV driver shortage nothing to do with Brexit
I finally found it, way down in the Guardian link:
< Clarke’s argument has been described as “ridiculous” by Gavin Barwell, a Conservative peer who served as Theresa May’s chief of staff when she was prime minister. >
You could go with that, moonie! Ignore the fact that only 9000 EU nationals have quit HGV driving in Britain since 2016. Who cares about facts?
