โIn 2017 there was not a single asylum seeker who arrived on a boat. Today we have 46,000 a year and do you know why? It was because of the botched Brexit deal pushed through by Boris Johnson and championed by Nigel Farage. Nigel Farage should be here apologisingโ

A decade of Brexit: Britain falls behind peers in trade and growth
Economic analysis shows UK GDP per capita grew up to 10% less than similar nations as firms froze spending and productivity slipped.
We estimate that by the start of 2025, the UK economy was approximately 8% smaller than it would have been without Brexit, based on macro data, and 6% smaller using firm-level micro dataโ

New poll shows 75% favour joining single market to lower taxes
Of British adults who feel Brexit has been harmful to the UK, over 75% favour the UK joining the Single Market and Customs Union as a way to lower the tax burden and boost money for public services.
New polling by Opinium on behalf of @europeanmovement.co.uk shows that, among British adults who felt Brexit had been harmful to the UK, more than three-quarters favoured the UK joining the Single Market and Customs Union as a way to lower the tax burden and boost money for public services.

Quick analysis of The Times today:
Wall to wall negative coverage of Labourโs budget. An editorial that tuts about lack of growth but takes no responsibility. And a double page ad to join Farage/Reform.
Absolutely no analysis on how rightwing ideology - including Brexit - has been utterly ruinous.

When you hear what Rachel Reeves has in store in the Budget, remember that there were ALWAYS other choices.
Labour have deliberately and consciously chosen to ignore the fact that Brexit is draining up to ยฃ90 billion a year from the UK economy.
That's a gap no amount of taxation can fill.

A new decade-long Brexit study quantifies it:

Hopefully some media outlets may take up @eddavey.libdems.org.uk 's suggestions to probe Mr Farage a bit more on this.
Is Farage saying he chose to support the wishes of a hostile foreign govt for free? ๐ฒ
