Brexit: “like someone stepping round a massive pile of dogshit on the living room carpet. Every day. For nine years.”
If only all our media could be as ruthlessly challenging as this.

What we're seeing with all this new data is that the Brexit damage is only getting worse as time goes on. Companies aren't "adjusting". They're either leaving, downscaling or going under. From manufacturing to services to culture to farming & fishing, the decline is snowballing rhe longer we're out.
New analysis by the politically neutral House of Commons library says that Brexit:
- cost the average Briton between £2,700 and £3,700
- lost the Treasury up to £90bn a year tax revenue.
Rachel Reeves budget options could have been very different!

Don’t forget, no matter how much Nigel Farage tries to shape Reform UK’s economic policy to win votes, at heart he’s a disaster capitalist.

Farage says he can't investigate pro-Russian links in Reform because he doesn't "have a police force".
