Oh dear Chris. And BBC.
Think we’ll all go with the OBR official, rather than you and your unprofessional biased nonsense.
Feel free to issue an apology and have a bit of a think. Maybe about the years of barely scrutinised *Tory* policies that got us into this mess.

Why are Tories not being hauled over the coals about this.
They said 350m could be saved and given to NHS.
They didn't say how much the country would lose from lost trade, lost investment, lost EU grants, EU funding, lost knowledge (eg on sharing crime data)
Yet Labour getting trolled at budget.

David Davis said there wouldn't be a single downside to Brexit.
Yorkshire Bylines recorded >2,000 of them from 2021-2024.
