Brexit: “The most dishonest campaign in our history said it would save us £350m a week, but Brexit actually cost us £250m a day in 2025. That is why we have the highest taxes ever, that is why we have sky-high bills, that is why we have a cost of living crisis” @eddavey.libdems.org.uk

My simplified diagnosis of why the British economy isn’t growing: we’re producing far fewer goods that the world wants to buy.
It points to a problem with foreign demand that no government will find easy to fix — though some of it has to do with self-imposed constraints. (Anyone heard of Europe?)
