Hard Brexit
could cost
£66bn a year


Leaked Treasury papers reveal lost revenue


Sam Coates Deputy Political Editor
Ollver Wright Policy Editor


Cabinet ministers are being warned
that the Treasury could lose up_to
£66 billion a year in tax revenues under
"hard Brexit", according to leaked
government papers.


GDP.could fall by as much as 9.5 per
cent if Britain leaves the single market
and hastorely on WorldTrade Organi-
sation rules for trading with the conti-
nent, compared with ifit stayed within
the EU,theforecasts show.Such a steep
drop in revenue would force ministers
to slash public spending or raise taxes.
The £66 billion drop, contained in a
draft cabinet committee paper seen by
The Times, is nearly a tenth of the
£716 billion that the government is pro-
jected to collect in taxes this year,and is
equivalent to 65 per cent of the annual
budget of NHS England.


Business leaders are_increasingly
worried that the UK could fail to nego-
tiate a deal with the 27 remaining EU
members by the time it leaves the
union, and will face a "cliff edge" of
trade tariffs and barriers,


Several cabinet ministers who sup-
ported Remain are stepping up efforts
to prioritise business concerns and the
economy in Brexit discussions, fearing
that Leave supporters fail to realise the
scale of potential damage, It comes as:;
○ Theresa May faces a potential legal
challenge by a group of Conservative
MPs over the decision to begin Brexit
negotiations without parliament's
approval. The prime minister's spokes-
man ruledoutgiving MPs a voteyester-
day,saying thatitwould"second guess'
the will of the British people.
○ Dominic Grieve, the former attor-
ney-general, said that unless the gov,
ernment could agree,a deal supported
by parliament it would not survive.

Hard to devise a better metaphor for the past decade and a half of Premier League football than Man City winning while playing with an extra man.

And the talk this week that the outcome could have knocked City off their step and possibly lost to an average Liverpool side. For the birds.

As disappointed as I am, this is probably the perfect result to sum up the sorry state of the Premier League as it stands. We’re watching a sham. The cheats still prosper.

NEW The Manchester City decision shows the costs of an aggressive litigation strategy How the club’s lack of cooperation and putting forward dishonest evidence have put the club at a disadvantage By me at the Empty City (£) emptycity.substack.com/p/the-manche...
The club is now not in a happy place legally.

Not only has it been found to be in breach of various regulations, the commission ruling uses terms like “sham”, “disguise” and “conceal” in respect of those breaches, on the basis of “strong, cogent evidence”.

But this post is not about that evidence. This post is about what the club did once it knew it faced an investigation about those matters.

It made a decision not to cooperate.

It made a decision to put forward witnesses to provide evidence on key points which was found by the commission to be dishonest.

Those were aggressive decisions the club made once it know it knew it was in regulatory and legal peril.

And it would have done so knowing the likely consequences of those decisions in the findings of the commission.

The irony is while City’s owners rail against any form of governance or regulation, their success is still only realised by winning league trophies. If you let them go and run their club free from the constraint of regulation in some new league, they would still crave the gravitas of the PL

Man City's £854.5m revenue overstatement between 2009-10 and 2017-18 was more than the total revenues in that time of all but eight English clubs (the other 'Big Six' teams, Everton, West Ham and Newcastle) £854.5m in misstated revenue was 30% of #MCFC total revenue in period

Pope Innocent III,who died in 1216, spoke of a certain kind of older man, who is "easily provoked", "will believe anything and question nothing", is "stingy and greedy" and "praises the good old days and hates the present." Reform UK's voter base has been knocking around for a very long time.

This mess is the result of being run by wealthy amateurs. Consistent poor appointments on and off the pitch. A maddening focus on a style of football we can't deliver and the appointment of managers with no track record and no tactical nous.

Ratcliffe promised to build his Defender copy in S Wales, but patriotically preferred to build it in France. He patriotically migrated to Monaco so he doesn’t pay too much tax in the country that generated that wealth. But his views on what matters in the UK hit the headlines.

The strange case of a UK where professing support for a quite peaceful organization - Palestine Action - is an Act of Terrorism, while masked thugs can freely block ports. Part of the underlying cause is the highly performative nature of UK politics.

Monty Don steps down from BBC’s Gardeners’ World after 23 years
Final series to be hosted by the ‘utterly unique’ presenter will continue to be broadcast until later this year Monty Don, the longest serving head gardener on the BBC’s Gardeners’ World programme, will step down at the end of the current series. After 23 years leading the show, which he has hosted from his own garden in Herefordshire since 2011, Don said it was “the right time for a change”. He will continue working with the BBC on other programmes, as well as pursuing his own projects, such as writing books. Continue reading...
