🔥 Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances.
A new decade-long Brexit study quantifies it:

That's £180bn-£240bn a year
It means less tax revenue and so less money for everything.
Brexit made Britain MUCH poorer.

Letter to the editor:
In 2018 alone, the EU gave £5.9bn to help deprived UK regions.
Now the government calls £5bn over ten years “ambitious.”
Brexit really did take from the poor to give to a slogan.

It is a sad day for the legal industry. Paul Weiss, didn't just bend a knee, it set a new standard for shameful capitulation. This is a stain on the firm, every one of its partners, and the entire legal profession.
