They invented an entire ministry to help Rees-Mogg come up with ‘Brexit benefits’. He produced a factually incorrect analysis of signage in the Dartford Tunnel & nothing else…

Opening a new Grassroots Music Venue = £600,000 Keeping open the ones we’ve already got with an Energy Subsidy = £30,000 @Jeremy_Hunt proposal risks shutting hundreds of music venues. @RishiSunak - I understand you are keen on maths. Try doing some.

Today Rishi Sunak told the nation: “No tricks, no ambiguity, we’re either delivering for you or we’re not. We will rebuild trust in politics through action, or not at all." While simultaneously announcing precisely NOTHING to address the unfolding humanitarian crisis in the NHS.

Question from the new Rishi Sunak maths syllabus: if 13 years of Tory government knocks 20% off your real income and 40% off your pension, puts £500 a month on your mortgage and lands you with a £2000 gas bill, should you vote Tory at the next general election?

The Brexit effect.
The endless line at Geneva Airport to get through passport control for British passport holders. No queue at all for EU or Swiss citizens 🤷🏻‍♂️

My brilliant cousin @GalensGhost had a letter printed in The Times today. She did not pull any punches. 👏👏👏💪

The problem with Brexit is not only that it’s unwise to cut yourself off from the trading arrangements that the rest of your continent enjoys - it’s also so difficult and costly to do that government has no time or money to do much else. And these difficulties aren’t going away.
ONS revised down its UK growth estimates for the first half of 2022: 0.6% in Q1, 0.1% Q2. It means GDP still 0.8% below pre-pandemic level, leaving UK only G7 economy with output still below pre-Covid level. US GDP is 4.3% above its 2019 level, Eurozone 2.2% above.
