The UK is losing up to £250m a day in lost tax revenue due to the economic impact of Brexit, House of Commons Library analysis for the Lib Dems suggests.

Brexit has blown a "black hole of [up to] £90 billion a year in the public finances" the party says. Even under lower estimates the hit is ~£65bn

🔥 Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances.

A new decade-long Brexit study quantifies it:

A 6–8% hit to GDP

That's £180bn-£240bn a year

It means less tax revenue and so less money for everything.

Jobs - and £billions - for the Tory old pals network.

Whatever happened to the
£37 BILLION?
Nobody has followed up on this HUGE expenditure.

Can we see the full supporting invoices, costs - itemised by category - from capital equipment to staff salaries and premises costs?

From @privateeyenews.bsky.social:
Lily Allen Album Decoded The Eye tries to get to the bottom of the biggest mystery in popular music. Who is Lily Allen making coded references to in her new album 'My Ex-Husband is a Bastard'? Track 1: Beardy Bastard This first track has got the whole world guessing. Could it possibly be a reference to David Harbour? Or is it a more obtuse reference to Jeremy Corbyn or possibly Brian Blessed? Track 2: Harbour is a Bastard Lily often talks about auto-fiction in her own work, which makes it difficult to fathom the exact meaning of her lyrics. This could be a reference to David Harbour, her ex-husband, but it could equally be about an unhappy childhood trip to Portsmouth. Perhaps we will never know. Track 3: The Bastard from 'Stranger Things' is a Bastard 'Strange Things' is a song in 'Toy Story', sung when Woody realises he is no longer Andy's favourite toy and has been replaced by Buzz Lightyear. So this track may well refer to Lily's failed relationship with an absurdly optimistic astronaut, who had promised to love her "to infinity and beyond". Or could it be about 'Stranger Things' actor and Lily's ex, David Harbour? Track 4: My Ex-Husband is a Bastard who had an Affair with a Costume Designer who is a Bitch Don't be fooled by the jaunty reggae backbeat, this is a profoundly negative song, and it's possible that Lily is referring to recent events in her own life. The ex-husband could be a reference to her actual ex-husband David Harbour, but more likely this is an astute political allegory about Boris Johnson or possibly Matt Hancock, with 'costume designer' being code for PPE supplier. Track 5: I'm Going to Get my Revenge on my Beardy Bastard Ex-Husband David Harbour from 'Stranger Things' by Writing an Album Telling the World What a Beardy Bastard He Is This is perhaps the most obtuse and impenetrable of all Lily's complex and nuanced lyrics on this puzzling enigma of an album, but it seems to be a bittersweet reflection on love, monogamy, polyamory...

Welfare reform 'must happen', UK minister says.

Silence on corporate welfare. For example, Drax makes profits but gets subsidies.

Silence on tax perks of the rich. Capital gains and dividends taxed at lower rates than wages.

Welfare reform is a code for squeezing the poor, old, sick, disabled.
