Why do BBC give Laura Kuenssberg free rein to write this drivel?
"The big picture is tough. The country's debts are massive and taxes are huge."
It's not even wrong/biased. It's just vacuous twaddle that adds absolutely nothing to public understanding of the issues.

As we approach #FollowBackFriday, we should remember that the aim of the #FBPE movement is closer integration with Europe.
So if you are #ProEU, then I want to follow you.

A short history of post-Brexit sewage dumping:
1. The chemicals we need to treat raw sewage are produced in the EU.
2. After Brexit, we no longer had easy access to those chemicals.
3. Rather than changing that, Brexiters passed a new law giving water companies permission to dump raw sewage.

🔥 "The economic cost of Brexit, reliably estimated at around 5% of GDP and with a total loss to government coffers by 2035 of over £300bn, is unlikely to be offset by attempting to ‘make Brexit work’ – a slogan which rather confirms that it hasn’t."
Brexit – an unwelcome truth
Labour’s continued silence on Brexit might just reveal an unwelcome truth; another reason, perhaps, to use the Brexit telescope?

In fact we were promised we wouldn't leave it.
So why can we not rejoin it?
