Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances.

A new decade-long Brexit study explains it: a 6–8% hit to GDP – that's £180bn-£240bn a year

– means less tax, less investment and less money for everything else.

Brexit made Britain poorer. Much poorer.

@junesim63 I taught an Afghani girl in 2000. She was in my GCSE class. She was a widow, who had been tortured by the people who had killed her husband. She had to leave school to help her mother with her asylum case.
When I think of refugees, I think of her.
Western politicians have money and land for data centres but not for people.
What is the point of democracy if those are its values?
