Former Conservative PM calls on parliament to consider ‘well-being of the people’ and attacks government’s Brexit strategy
The leaked government Brexit report reinforces the academic consensus that the harder the Brexit, the worse it will be for the UK economy.
The EU’s regional policy has brought investment to large parts of the UK that have otherwise been neglected by Westminster.
The figures show the construction industry in recession, stagnating businesses investment, foreign workers fleeing the UK, and families tightening their belts after being squeezed by rising inflation and weak wage growth.
The foreign secretary famously claimed that Britain could ‘have its cake and eat it’ in negotiations to leave the EU, but now finds that his Brexit cake is rotten to the core and filled with maggots. Nobody wants a slice.
