๐ฅ Rachel Reeves says thereโs a โholeโ in the public finances.
A new decade-long Brexit study quantifies it:
A 6โ8% hit to GDP
That's ยฃ180bn-ยฃ240bn a year
It means less tax revenue and so less money for everything.
Brexit made Britain MUCH poorer.
ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

President Donald Trump demanded on Monday that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) prove her intelligence by taking the "IQ test" he recently passed, seemingly unaware that he was actually describing a cognitive test for dementia.

Climate change is a global emergency, but its impacts and solutions must also be a local priority for the Midlands.
If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.
