New figures by the Bank of England demonstrate how much of a negative impact Brexit has had on the UK economy. Trade weakness combined with uncertainty has decreased our GDP, Investment, Employment, and Productivity, resulting in a negative decline for the UK compared to our European neighbours.

People are just realising that we had a better grip on immigration within the EU
They gave us bar staff and builders - we gave them sunburnt pensioners and seaside property booms. It was win-win.

Too many people feel that our economy is rigged against them- that no matter how hard they work or what contribution they make, they can't get by.
Our new report examines how this is fuelling the rise of populist politics- and what we can do about it.

1/ How’s this for a view - sunrise from the summit of the Wrekin, with a sea of mist stretching as far as the eye can see. If you look carefully you can pick out the church at Wrockwardine in the foreground, with its tower glowing a warm red in the early-morning sunshine. #Shropshire

The COVID enquiry and last night’s ITV documentary shone light on a dark time - when billions of pounds of public money were shovelled into the pockets of private investors rather than public institutions - wasting existing expertise, wasting money, wasting lives in the process.
A number of labs initially got in touch with PHE, Alice.
Initial response was, as expected, supportive.
However, after further comms things suddenly fell silent.
No local NHS or university labs therefore helped, apart from those with freedom/resource.
Then, May. Dysfunctional lighthouse, too late.
