Yet more mealy mouthed words from a Labour politician who despite all the evidence cannot say that leaving the European Union was a mistake and the cause of our economic problems

A different less rushed and better conceived Brexit wasn’t available

European Movement UK @europeanmovement.co.uk · 11h

Today, the Chancellor named Brexit as one of the main reasons for expected tax rises and lower productivity.

Wasn't Brexit supposed to put £350 million a week into the economy? 🤔 One of just many lies it seems...

“A rushed and ill-conceived Brexit that brought further disruption, as businesses trying to trade were faced with extra costs and extra paperwork. All this meant that when the pandemic arrived our country was under-prepared, our public services weakened and our economy fragile. And we finished the pandemic with higher death rates and higher debt than our peers” Rachel Reeves MP, Chancellor

Montenegro, Albania, Ukraine and Moldova, noting that these countries aimed to finalize their accession negotiations by the end of 2026, the end of 2027 & in 2028 for the latter two, respectively. EU officials also noted that the EU has its own work to do to ensure it’s ready to accept new members.

Another brilliant article by The Bear that’s well worth a read.
Quote: Farage admitted to the cameras, normally his friends, that huge tax cuts just aren’t “realistic”, to which you could hear the ghost of Liz Truss choking on her salad and a chorus of people shouting “No shit, Sherlock!”

Nigel Farage finally met a force he couldn’t shout down - the bond market.

You can’t outdrink a spreadsheet, and you can’t gaslight a Bloomberg terminal.

Round one: he lost.

"Any measures that look to balance the books on the backs of some of the most vulnerable... will be the mark of economic, social and environmental failure," he continues.

Polanski calls for the 26 November Budget to be "a cost-of-living Budget".

"That's a moral imperative," he says.

The FTSE 100 is now higher than the end of yesterday.

This is markets, again, backing what Rachel Reeves said once they had time to consider what she'd said.

Up over 20% since Labour came to power and at record levels.

I've seen quite a lot of the media talking about the FTSE 100 / markets 'crashing' over 100 points due to the Chancellors speech today.

Well here is the chart up to 14:59 this afternoon.

Half the drop was in the 5 mins after markets opened, before she spoke at 8:10am.
