A new report reveals the huge and lasting economic costs of #Brexit
"These calculations show that Brexit had already cost the UK 1% of GDP before it even left the EU. In the three years after the transition period, the cost has increased to 2-3%. That is only the beginning. These costs and problems do not go away, they are not one offs. NIESR calculates that by 2035 the cost will rise to 5-6% of GDP."

Nigel Farage Tells A Lie, part 392038
GPLB: "Farage's bank account closed because he did not have enough money in it, not because of Brexit, BBC reports"
Update: "Response from Nigel Farage [on BBC report] revealing that his Coutts account was closed because he did not have enough money: he says he was never told this himself"
So he didn't know he didn't have enough money? (I know that's not what he meant but still) 😂😂😂

2022 - "IT'S NOT BREXIT, IT'S COVID AND UKRAINE" (shit, they've noticed, lie even harder)

‘Not Actually Very Good’
Britain’s Post-Brexit Trade Agreements with Japan & Australia
Ellie Newis reviews two of the flagship free trade agreements that were supposed to reignite the UK economy – two newly-negotiated deals that should have showed off the possibilities of a post-Brexit world.
However, when the Government’s own data is analysed on the performance of the deals, their failures become patently clear. As the Government’s former Environment Secretary has now admitted, the Australia deal in particular is “not actually very good”.
