The new evidence is grim: Brexit has made Britain is smaller, poorer and less productive.
No wonder Reeves found a black hole in the budget. It’s been carved out by a decade of lost growth of 6-8% - a hit of £180-£240bn - that’s far worse than was predicted.

‘We just want to stop people being murdered’: Kneecap on Palestine, protest and provocation
The Irish rap trio have recently faced censure and a court case, but have also had support for their pro-Palestine stance. Ahead of a Glastonbury appearance deemed ‘inappropriate’ by Keir Starmer, they argue the backlash against them is a deliberate distraction

Witnesses told the Associated Press that Israeli forces had opened fire on people as they headed toward the aid distribution site run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). “There were many martyrs, including women,” the 40-year-old resident said. “We were about 300 metres away from the military.” Continue reading...
