I wonder if this means the Government will now start mentioning the fact the OBR report it keeps quoting from says Brexit is on course to cut UK trade by a staggering 15% - a huge reduction in the country’s potential economic performance at a time when every penny counts
BREAKING:

“Policies were reformed deliberately to liberalise immigration. Brexit was used for that purpose, to turn Britain into a one nation experiment in open borders”

🥀 As soon as they got into government, Labour decided to cut the Winter Fuel Payment.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 We don’t think that’s right - so we’ve introduced a universal Winter Heating Payment for 900,000 Scots pensioners.

🚨Lord Woodley’s Bill to end the cruel & monumental injustice of the #IPPscandal has passed its 2nd Reading. The question now is will the Prime Minister do the right thing & give the Bill government time for a full & proper Committee Stage?
