Brexit has cost the UK between £180-£240bn. But the good news is that there's a solution. Frontier Economics' report shows that at least 90% of the Brexit economic hit could be recouped by the UK rejoining the EU. Send the report to your MP: hey-mp.uk

Starmer has been a better Prime Minister than all the last 5 Tory leaders . He just wasn't up to the task , lacking charisma, and unlike Burnham, didn't attack the media for telling lies about him. Burnham does fight back .

Gonna be hearing a lot from spin journalists and clown politicians trying to brand "the worst PM/government of all time". Before it starts, be aware of how this is an incredibly bad look to have already forgotten the previous 14 years of tory austerity and corruption.

Keir Starmer has announced his resignation. As PM he accomplished good things, particularly improving the UK-EU relationship. But he was far too hesitant in repairing the damage done by Brexit, and his rhetoric, and policy, on immigration has been harmful. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/ck... (1/2)
