As well as the fantasy £234 bn, journalists should also be clear Farage's claims most new migrants don't work, and those who do are on low wages, are entirely false.
In fact, 1.8 million recent migrants are on payrolls (others will be self employed).

as for wages, we see reasonably rapid wage growth among recent arrivals (as migrants progress, and low-earning students return home).

Putting all this together, @lgilbert.co find the following.
It's not that Farage is (just) exaggerating/overstating - he is simply lying about migrants, jobs, wages and benefits.
Media should be very clear about this.

Brexit was an attempted counter-revolution against many of the changes this country has gone through since 1945. It has turned out to be a failure with elements of farce. This has driven many people on the Right completely mad.
