More revelations about the loathsome Mandelson, who once famously said:

"We are intensely relaxed about people getting filthy rich as long as they pay their taxes."
NEW: Previously unreported Epstein emails show Peter Mandelson discussing a Panama-linked tax avoidance structure for a £750k Rio apartment - with Epstein as his "chief life adviser".

We ran the numbers last year w @kiel.institute. The essence won’t have changed much: Even if the EU concluded dozens of new agreements and deepen existing ones, this would only add about 0.6 percent of GDP over five years. Could be a bit more with (even more) generous assumptions, but not a lot.
