Told you so! The Telegraph denounces Brexit as 'unmitigated economic disaster'
We've now got The Telegraph joining the Brexit resistance, after the formerly pro-leave paper ripped into its 'near-disastrous' consequences.

Worth a read. It sets out our Labour governments growth plan. From New Towns to infrastructure to paying down our debt. It’s clear and concise and worth quarter of an hour of your time. I’d get a drink though!!!

Rightly lots of debates about growth this weekend - rightly because it was low productivity growth that saw wages entirely flatline during the 2010s.

Reform UK Party Ltd spent £700,000 on a 2-page spread — one page being just an image of Farage and the other a letter, meaning he spent £350,000 on pictures of himself.
The average UK house price is £272,000.

The economic benefits from scrapping two child limit can outweigh the initial costs. Some estimate the wider economic burden of child poverty at £39bn a year – lifting 10 per cent of children out of poverty will help alleviate this.

Resolution Foundation analysis of the Chancellor's Budget:
Typical families gain approximately £230 from energy bill support, fuel duty & rail fare measures.
Scrapping two-child benefit limit helps over half a million families by an average of £5,000.
The Budget is progressive overall, RF finds.

If only Starmer would speak about the travesty of Brexit in the same clear way that Carney explains why Canada is in deficit. Difference is Canada didn’t vote to be screwed. We allowed Farage, Johnson & Putin to manipulate the Brexit vote. Starmer needs to change tack now. Rejoin CU & SM now.
