If Nigel Farage wanted to investigate Russian infiltration into Reform, he’d have done it already.

Brexit: the trillion pound ‘mistake’

The recent NBER report suggests the Treasury’s 2016 analysis – slammed by Brexiters as a ‘hoax’– actually understated the impact of Brexit.

All of us: Why, in our judgement, Chris Mason is misleading on most political points, all the time.

Because he’s incapable of political commentary that isn’t marinated in his own rightwing bias. Allegations for Labour. Free passes for Tories/Reform. Every Single Time.

Good.

So much of what the media are now complaining about was stuff they made up or told us was from their anonymous sources.

Look at the official words from the government in the run up to the budget and they delivered exactly what they said they were going to.

Only solution is electoral reform - ending the primacy of the median provincial authoritarian voter and allowing improved tax revs from single market.
