Regular reminder that behind all the guff about immigration statistics we are talking about actual people's lives.
We are pretty much guaranteed to see today's figures used to defend anti-immigration policies, and ignore the harm they cause. These are people's lives.

UK migration is at a record high – but immigration should be celebrated, not weaponised
Experience tells us that there will be those who try and “weaponise” immigration no matter what, says Stand for All's Daniel Sohege.

👏 👏 @chelfulhamben.bsky.social: "The swiftest way to achieve growth is for the Government to be even more ambitious in negotiating with the European Union."

Exactly right. Closer relations with the EU will boost our economy.

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.

How Europhobia crushed Tories, and why Labour must beware
From Thatcher to Brexit, the Tories’ war on Europe turned a political colossus into a crippled party. Labour risks repeating the same mistake

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

🚨🚨 New report!

Brexit has cost our economy 6 to 8% of GDP.

That equates to circa £66billion in lost tax revenue.
In Budget week, I am afraid we have to talk about Brexit.

A new report from economists at the BoE, Kings College and others puts the hit to our economy at 6 to 8% of of UK GDP.

That equates to circa £66billion in lost tax revenue.

That's why we have to go further and faster on the UK/EU reset.

"Brexit didn’t behave like a normal economic shock. There was no singular collapse or dramatic turning point. Instead, it created a rolling fog of uncertainty that has lasted almost a decade. It made it impossible for thousands of firms to plan." ~AA

The same politicians that misled the public and championed Brexit are now calling on the UK to withdraw from the ECHR. They cannot be trusted.

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.

Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances. A new decade-long Brexit study explains it: a 6–8% hit to GDP means less tax, less investment and less money for everything else. The bill has finally arrived.

Brexit made Britain poorer. Much poorer.

The new evidence is grim: Brexit has made Britain is smaller, poorer and less productive.

No wonder Reeves found a black hole in the budget. It’s been carved out by a decade of lost growth of 6-8% - a hit of £180-£240bn - that’s far worse than was predicted.
