🔥 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.
Brexit made Britain MUCH poorer.

Smurfs were created by Belgian cartoonist 'Peyo' in 1958 as "Les Schtroumpfs". He described them as "no more than three apples tall."
Fruit flies (Drosophila) are considerably smaller: typically 3-4 mm long. And these fruit flies have been SMURFED.
