Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances.
A new decade-long Brexit study explains it:
a 6–8% hit to GDP – that's £180bn-£240bn a year – means less tax, less investment and less money for everything else.
Brexit made Britain poorer. Much poorer.

Thousands died.
Spent time walking his dog, riding motorcycle, hosting lunches/dinners.
He once said Covid was ‘nature’s way of dealing with old people’, ‘we should let the old people get it’.
Will he be held to account,?

It seems like it's neglect of duty. If it was a mid level civil servant they'd be facing a criminal offence of misconduct in public office. The willful neglect of duties and responsibilities seems pretty clear and there could be a primae fascia case. But this clown will get away with it. Again.
