If England water companies had not been privatised: £88.4bn dividend to shareholders would not have been paid. Billions more through intragroup transactions would not have been extracted. Borrowing cost would have been much lower. In public ownership, billions would have gone to infrastructure.

Jim O'Neill, Baron O'Neill of Gatley, the English economist best known for coining the term BRIC, has named Brexit as a 'colossal economic shock', and the reduce in productivity has been 'exaggerated by our rather odd decision to leave the EU.'
One of the reasons why we’re having so many problems over the past decade is because we’re still living from the colossal economic shock of Brexit, which is causing more permanent damage than this energy price shock is likely to do.

Yes madness indeed. The horror of having the words ‘citrus marmalade’ on the label far outweighs the huge boost to the economy and national security that comes with closer EU links. Just like the ‘bendy banana’, once again the sanctity of our fruit is what will determine Britain’s future prosperity.

Feverishly raking it in from media deals, gold bullion brand promotion, X and other dodgy work that has nothing to do with his MP duties. Farage is a pisstaking grifter who has made us all worse off so he can get richer. And that’s all he’ll ever do. (Extract from Times and Libdem report on Brexit)
The late declared payments totalled £384,064.75 and included £17,173 from Cameo, an app through which fans can pay well-known figures for personal video messages.
There were several payments from
GB News, where Farage hosts a pro-gramme, and income from X. Other payments came from Google and Imperial Independent Media, a US consulting firm. Despite the number and value of the interests, Greenberg concluded that the breaches were
"inadvertent" and chose not to refer the case to the committee on standards.
Farage is the MP with the highest level of outside earnings, according to the Register of Members Financial Interests. Since the general election, analysis of the register shows he has brought in £1.39 million in ad hoc payments on top of his MP's salary. The figure was mainly due to broadcast work and commercial partnerships.
He received £626,818.20 in 15 payments linked to his role as a presenter for GB News, and declared £415,500 from three payments as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion, a gold and silver dealer. He also received £180,336.86 in Il payments from Cameo.
He received smaller payments linked to social networks and speaking work:
£18,268.16 in 24 payments from X, £18,812.22 in 14 payments from Google and £2,794.81 in three payments from Meta.
Farage was followed by Rishi Sunak, Sir Geoffrey Cox, Sir Oliver Dowden and Sir Jeremy Hunt among the top earners.
 A recent study from the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), a leading US-based thinktank, found that the economic damage caused by the previous Government's Brexit deal since 2016 has kept the UK economy between 6% and 8% smaller than it could have been.
Analysis of those figures by the House of Commons Library now suggests without those blows to GDP, the Treasury could have benefitted per year to the tune of £90 billion more in tax revenue in 2024/25.
This is assuming the economic damage of Brexit amounted to the higher estimate of 8% of GDP. Even under the lower estimate of 6%, the annual hit to tax revenues would be around £65 billion.
The analysis also estimates that the average Brit is thousands of pounds worse off due to the Conservative Brexit deal. The hit to UK GDP per capita from Brexit identified by NBER is between £2,700 and £3,700.
