In Budget week, I am afraid we have to talk about Brexit.
A new report from economists at the BoE, Kings College and others puts the hit to our economy at 6 to 8% of of UK GDP.
That equates to circa £66billion in lost tax revenue.
That's why we have to go further and faster on the UK/EU reset.

Covering Jamal Khashoggi's murder was one of the most disturbing things I've worked on. Hearing Trump say he was "extremely controversial" and people "didn't like him" is chilling. Hard to take any other way than he thinks there is moral ambiguity in the murder of a journalist.
