The story of Europe’s economic decline while US is 'soaring' is everywhere.

But it is wrong. It is a myth.

Europe delivers more leisure, longer life expectancy, less inequality than the US.

Gabriel Zucman dismantles the myths.
Decline, what decline? The myth of dying Europe
There is a widespread view that, by comparison with the USA, Europe is in economic and social decline. But, Zucman argues, it's not true

What a victory! Today MPs narrowly backed our bill to cut the Brexit red tape and end this economic nightmare.

The PM must listen to Parliament and the public, drop his self-imposed red lines and go for growth with a new customs union.

Last year saw a record amount of post-Brexit Irish passport applications in the UK last year, with almost a quarter of a million people living in the UK applying. It's clear that the public want freedom of movement - it's time for the Government to take action.

Eurozone inflation is 2.1% and its interest rate 2.0%

The UK's inflation is 3.6% and our interest rate is 4.0%

Brexit makes Britain poorer.

The EU isn't just about trade and regulations. More than anything, it's about our shared European heritage, our shared cultures, our diversity, our dreams. ... That's something the fascists will never understand.
