Fewer workers. Fewer international students. More people leaving.

A "step in the right direction" according to the PM.

Impossible to take PM/govt seriously on growth if they are deliberately reducing it (and making the fiscal position worse) *as a matter of policy*.

Ex Dresdner Kleinwort investment banker Tim Horlick, who was previously married to City Superwoman Nicola Horlick (née Gayford), bought an £8.5m Pimlico flat after supplying 50 million faulty PPE masks. He has now had a criminal restraint order imposed on the property. Ben Ellery in @thetimes.com

The OBR could not be clearer today. Weak growth is tied to Brexit, which they now expect will leave UK trade 15% smaller in the long term.

🚨BREAKING🚨New figures reveal the true cost of Brexit.

It's time for Labour to stop being so timid and fix the damage done by the Conservatives' botched Brexit deal.

That is the best way to boost growth, put money in people's pockets and properly fund our public services.

💚👏energy storage is the future.
Smart move, grid scale energy storage is a vital part of the Smart Grid we need as we transition to a 100% green. It’s how we balance the huge fluctuations of both demand and production. And of course part of the green economy - that brings jobs, economic growth and lower bills.

Brexit has cost each and every one of us £3,700 a year.

But instead of solving the problem, Labour are using Brexit as an excuse to raise your taxes.

My message ahead of the Budget: Stop blaming Brexit and start fixing it!

The impact of Brexit is shocking - yet still can't be talked about. 😔
Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.
