Rachel Reeves has acknowledged what previous governments refused to admit.
Brexit has left deep, lasting damage to the British economy, driving up costs and stalling growth. The Chancellor now says it is partly to blame for the black hole in November’s Budget.

On #BBCQT - Fiona Bruce said that the audience and public didn't want to press Reform UK on their dodgy links to Russia.
I disagree.
RT if you agree it's in the public interest for Reform to explain about their links to Russian money and bribery!

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?
