the price of populism
"By 2025, Brexit had reduced UK GDP by 6% to 8%, with the impact accumulating gradually over time. We estimate that investment was reduced by between 12% and 18%, employment by 3% to 4% and productivity by 3% to 4%"

Let’s play fair with taxes.
MEPs ask that firms making over 1 million euro in revenue in an EU country count as established there for tax purposes.
This means digital companies pay taxes where they are effectively making profits.

Yes. Trump was impeached by the House of Representatives on a charge of "Incitement of insurrection" and was declared guilty by 57 senators on 13 February 2021.
The fact this was below the required 2/3 majority for actual conviction doesn't stop it being a fact.

It’s not something I’ve seen mentioned so far in all of this, but panorama implying that Trump was responsible for inciting Jan 6th puts it in the same category of the majority of the US senate. Quite why that isn’t worthy of a mention in response to the implication of radical left bias is strange.
