Brexit has hammered our economy, cost us £100 billion in lost growth, and stripped £40 billion from our tax base.
The worst-hit? Businesses drowning in red tape.

Today in 1945 US Army Sgt Edward Allen Carter was shot 5 times assaulting a German position. 8 enemy troops tried to capture him but he killed six & took 2 back to friendly lines where he interrogated them in German.
Because he was African American he did not receive the Medal of Honor. Until 1997.
