Oh dear. So, despite Farage insisting they’ve done nothing wrong, the lovely Dan Jukes and James Orr have both stepped down… for now. Farage… they reported to you.. off you go. What a shitshow of guilty, corrupt, traitorous, greedy pisstakers. They must never ever get their hands on power.

Trans-Pacific trade deal kicks in today. It “makes the value to Britain’s coffers look like a rounding error” when compared to the ongoing economic cratering of not being in the EU Single Market. The slavish protection given to Brexit defies belief. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

If your constituency voted for Brexit, your constituency should pay 100% of the cost of Brexit. That town down the road that voted against it, but still lost 8% of its income anyway? We’re adding an extra 8% to your taxes to compensate them. Because apparently that's "democratic consent" now.

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)

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.

And with no hint of shame, humility or personal responsibility, the Tory who detonated the economy with his mini budget and whose party trashed the place with austerity and Brexit, then scorched the earth with unaffordable pre-election tax cuts, tells Reeves to apologise. Insufferable. (iPaper)

By Kwasi Kwarteng
Former Conservative MP and chancellor
Reeves brutally weaponised my mini-Budget - now she is paying the price
For Keir Starmer and his Chancellor, this is a nightmare which has only just begun

It would perhaps be better simply to apologise - and do so in an act of genuine contrition. That is more realistic and believable than simply trying to pin the blame on other people, like a schoolchild who has been caught out saying: "It wasn't me, Miss!"
