You've GOT to be kidding me!
The Conservatives - who oversaw every single thing on this list - are trying to claim that only the Conservatives would "stop the madness" - that they created...?
So incredulity aside, what about the list itself?
Let's go Debunking! 1/34
๐ฅ Brexit is costing us at least ยฃ100 billion in lost trade per year
๐ฅ Brexit is costing us at least ยฃ40 billion in lost tax revenue per year
๐ฅ Being out of the Single Market is costing us 4%-6% of GDP
๐ฅ Stopping EU Freedom of Movement has caused massive increases in immigration from outside the EU
Brexit shrank the economy by about ยฃ100 billion.
So every year, the government is forced to forego the tax revenue (ยฃ35-ยฃ40 billion) it would have collected from that ยฃ100 billion in economic output.
So after 10 years, the economy is still down ยฃ100 billion but the government is down ยฃ350 billion.
The UK will not escape its doom loop until politicians acknowledge two linked facts: Brexit is a perpetual drag on growth, output + tax revenues, and an ageing population requires immigration. So, until we rejoin the EU single market and labour markets operate freely again, stagnation will continue.

If Labour were able to collect more tax, they could do more.
If they were able to do more, we'd all be better off.
Brexit shrank the economy. Let's undo Brexit.
It is now more than nine years since the UK electorate voted for Brexit but the issue - most justifiably given the damage it is causing to the economy and living standards - remains firmly in the headlines.

"Reform is a Brexit party. They have sold the country one populist solution & it's proved to be a disaster. Indeed it is one of the main reasons for the very unhappiness they are now trying to exploit โ stagnant wages & a surge in migration from outside Europe."

There are several million Brits living overseas in countries where they never bother to learn the local language. Seemingly Rupert Lowe has no problem with these.
Weโd have 500,000 coming back from Spain, if Spain enacted such a law.
Brexit was โsingle stupidest thing a countryโs ever doneโ

For anyone who hasn't realised yet, Brexit was promoted with a package of lies and outright fantasy.
