The Daily Express ran a “crusade” to get us out of the European Union, hit out at “arrogant Remainers” and demanded Britain “sever ties with Brussels NOW”.

But the tabloid has suddenly done a volte-face, tweeting a “SHOCK” warning that Brexit might actually be bad.

Many were shocked when it appeared to have had something of an epiphany.

It cited a report by the Rand Corporation, saying “a no-Brexit deal would cost the UK nearly five per cent of its overall GDP – around £104bn – over the course of ten years after Brexit”.

But it seems no one else was suffering quite the same “SHOCK”.

Daily Express today reports that "Britain will be WORSE OFF out of the EU under ALL Brexit scenarios."
I don't know where they could have got the idea it would be anything else. https://t.co/wUieWDWNPk pic.twitter.com/y4PBLuYaqN

“Bear in woods! You will not believe what happens next?!”

“Shock as dropped object moves downwards towards a larger massive body through mysterious force!”

While others suggested the real shock might be the Express’ own surprise.
