What we're seeing with all this new data is that the Brexit damage is only getting worse as time goes on. Companies aren't "adjusting". They're either leaving, downscaling or going under. From manufacturing to services to culture to farming & fishing, the decline is snowballing rhe longer we're out.
New analysis by the politically neutral House of Commons library says that Brexit:
- cost the average Briton between £2,700 and £3,700
- lost the Treasury up to £90bn a year tax revenue.
Rachel Reeves budget options could have been very different!

Another very large decline in net migration in today's ONS figures, with immigration falling and emigration rising. I'm sure this will get just as much media and political coverage as the earlier sharp rises, right? www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopula...

Emigration, at around 700,000 people a year, is now the highest since 2012. Which is what you should expect five years after a surge in inward migration.

This is shaping up exactly as I predicted.
There are further effects from Covid-era student-arrivals and post-study workers, these will show a further downward trend in net migration in 2026 numbers.
I suspect we'll be down to about 250K net migration by the end of 2026.

David Lammy needs to be fed copies of the Magna Carta
So the actual bar being discussed for juryless trials seems to be anything where the sentence is less than 5 years.
Anything less than 5 years would not require a jury and could be decided by a judge in a closed room.
Worth noting that 3 years is the top number for activists generally...

NEW: ICE has torn up its $180M cap on a proposed immigrant-tracking program and is now guaranteeing private surveillance firms at least $7.5M each, with potential payouts reaching $281M per vendor. The change signals a shift from “pilot” to full-scale outsourcing of street-level investigative work.

The UK is losing up to £250m a day in lost tax revenue due to the economic impact of Brexit, House of Commons Library analysis for the Lib Dems suggests.
Brexit has blown a "black hole of [up to] £90 billion a year in the public finances" the party says. Even under lower estimates the hit is ~£65bn
