Grocery bills will fall by £27 a week while rents also tumble as land values drop.

The low-paid will get a £12-a- week wage boost as fewer immigrants compete for jobs.

But the researchers warn they will be worse off than now under Labour’s plans for a “soft” Brexit.

The report was compiled by three pro-Brexit organisations — Economists for Free Trade, Leave Means Leave and Labour Leave.

John Mills, chairman of Labour Leave, said quitting the EU will transform the “sluggish economy”.
