Quelle surprise! The trouble with listening to lying liars who lie is the damage this can cause. And no easy remedy, either. Not only were the claims made incorrect but the Brexiteers had no plans for Brexit or the future.

While Farage’s “sovereignty” fracturesd our relations with our nearest neighbours & closest allies, & delighted Trump & Putin, Brexit continues to destroy. Yet never-held-to-account-Farage continues to ride high in the polls. Stupidity & self harm compounded.

And yet, in the face of such reports not a peep from Keir Starmer. Brexit is working, behold the effects! It is up to us. Vote for pro-EU candidates only. Starmer has no clever plan to save us.

What the analysis basically said was that if we had stayed in the EU by some miracle we would have achieved growth rates similar to the US (main constituent of the Control Group). We didn't have those when we were in the EU. I think I would stick with the OBR analysis rather than a 'Working Paper' 😂

> "... on behalf of their enemies" That's ascribing too much brainpower to the perpetrators. It would imply a certain amount of rational motivation and planning. Personally, I think Brexit was just plain old stupidity and the "us vs them" mentality; we don't like people who aren't like us.

#Starmer's #Labour are just as pro #Brexit as #Reform and #Conservatives and just as responsible for continuing the #BrexitDisaster damage to the UK economy. All three want to run the #UK for the benefit of the #Billionaire #Corporates.

Outsider here but you can't convince me that the reason brexit passed isn't because the supporting parties advertised the referendum as, "If you love brexit, come to the Brexit Funtime Party! If you hate brexit you'll hate showing up to the Brexit Funtime Party, aw boo."

🇨🇦Our PM Carney warned them & was accused of fear mongering, overstepping his bounds, & "anti-expert rhetoric". "...people in this country have had enough of experts from organisations with acronyms saying that they know what is best and getting it consistently wrong." Thankful to have him home.

I’m sure Bloomberg had a measured critical analysis of this very fucking predictable outcome in the lead up to Brexit, and certainly didn’t help stoke the fears of ignorant Brits…
