By almost every economic and financial measure Brexit has been disastrous for the UK
“There is not a single sign of any overall economic damage done by Brexit” says @Nigel_Farage
Meanwhile back on planet earth by almost every economic & financial measure Brexit has been disastrous for the UK
Is anyone seriously buying his bull****?
Get the FACTS here👇

This gets worse the deeper you look.
The Budget cuts the writing-down allowance from 14% to 12%, a change the FT says will hit farmers who cannot access full expensing.
It leaves the APR/BPR changes in place.
It halves the lifetime limit for Business Asset Disposal Relief from £1m to £500,000.
The CLA says 9 out of 10 of its members are cancelling investment. And then government @angelaeagle tells us this is a “strong package” for food security.
Farming is one of the most capital-intensive industries in Britain.
Tractors, combines, grain stores, dryers and machinery are not luxuries. They are the productive infrastructure that puts food on people’s tables.
Britain has an investment and productivity crisis.
Why are we making it harder to invest in producing food?

So the millions in dodgy donations that Farage has been raking in has started to be used with a ‘newspaper’ being delivered to all houses by Royal Mail. I’ve sent it back by Freepost as an unwanted item.

This is a very important FT intervention.
It takes the argument out of the realm of pro-European politics and puts it squarely into economic strategy.
The central sentence for me is:
“But could Labour be stumbling towards a pro-growth policy that actually shifts the dial?”
And the answer Sam Fleming effectively gives is yes: European reintegration.
‼️ Britain has spent years desperately searching for a growth strategy while refusing to confront the enormous economic barrier we erected ourselves.
Now the FT Economics Editor asks whether @andyburnham may finally be “stumbling towards a pro-growth policy that actually shifts the dial”.
Reintegrating Britain with the European economy.
Goldman Sachs estimates:
Customs union: around +1% GDP
Single Market: around +2–5% GDP
The OBR estimates Brexit itself has reduced Britain’s potential productivity by 4%.
And the really interesting part is that I nvestors are starting to sit up and pay attention.
This is why the argument that reopening Britain’s relationship with Europe simply creates another “dust cloud of uncertainty” gets it backwards.
Brexit created barriers, uncertainty and lost investment.
Undoing Brexit is the biggest pro-growth reform available to Britain.
Fixing Brexit may turn out to be Burnham’s growth strategy. 🇬🇧🇪🇺

Great viewing from @BBCBreakfast and @sallynugent giving @Nigel_Farage what he deserves. Holding him to account for his racist supporters, pushing him to actually answer a question. Making him look the fool that he is!

This Labour Government have committed a further £432 million to ensure people sleeping rough have a route off the streets beyond this winter. 📈
It builds on the previous £442 million invested to offer everyone who needs it a route off the streets by Christmas. 🧣

Royal Mail should be back in public hands.
After years of missed delivery targets, Royal Mail has proven it can’t be run effectively by the private sector.
That’s why I’ve called on the Government to renationalise it.
If we fail to act, we risk losing Royal Mail for good.

The time for talk has long passed. This government is putting its money where its mouth is when it comes to supporting women and girls.
We'll back practical action to confine misogyny to the history books - in public services, workplaces, and online.

Who is bankrolling Nigel Farage's party?
What interests are they seeking to advance?
Are they acting in Britain's best interests?
Reform UK are engulfed in sleaze and scandal. Labour will protect our democracy from foreign influence.

Labour MP Helena Dollimore highlights the real-world consequences of Britain's departure from the EU: small businesses struggling to export, musicians facing barriers to touring Europe, and international trains no longer stopping at Ashford.

Brexit Britain is the world’s first ever example of a country applying sanctions to itself.
Those who believe in it claim we haven’t had Brexit yet bc it’s not doing as they dreamed it would.
But Brexit is doing just as remainers said it would. Erecting trade barriers is self harming.
'Leaving the European Union was the biggest act of economic self harm any country has ever committed'
Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, told #BBCBreakfast Andy Burnham 'is spot on' about having an "honest discussion" ove the prospect of returning to free movement between the UK and European Union

The rewriting of 2016 needs challenging.
❌ The referendum ballot did NOT ask: “Should Britain end freedom of movement?”
It asked whether Britain should remain in or leave the EU.
Nothing about leaving the Single Market.
Nothing about the customs union.
Nothing about ending free movement.
And during the referendum prominent Brexit campaigners openly cited Norway and Switzerland as models for Britain outside the EU.
🇳🇴 Norway is in the Single Market and accepts free movement.
The Leave coalition contained several completely different versions of Brexit. The public was never asked to choose between them.
So it is simply not accurate to retrospectively turn 17.4 million Leave votes into 17.4 million votes specifically against free movement.
That interpretation came afterwards.
And if Britain is now deciding what relationship it wants with Europe, voters are perfectly entitled to decide again with the actual choices made explicit.
