Another Brexit economic verdict arrived last month in the form of an 83-page NBER working paper - and it is devastating.
What shocks me more is how politely politics continues to look away from the person who drove the bus.

Quick note to anyone thinking of buying my books: please purchase the new Swift Press versions, NOT the relatively small number of Unbound versions still knocking about, & being sold by OOINYA. Unbound stopped paying me for my work early in 2024 and I will never see a penny for these books.

Gah! Order a jacket. Check website sizing carefully against another garment because 'women's clothes'. Arrives: too small. To return it I have to pay the return fee BEFORE I get a refund. And I can't get to a shop selling this brand and I live in a major city.

Let's hope 2025 turns out to be an annus horribilis for this horrible anus of a man...
A week of racism scandals, phantom audits, public meltdowns in Kent, and a Russia problem that just won’t die - it’s been a hell of a time for Reform UK.
Meanwhile, the government quietly admits Brexit’s to blame for the mess.
Nigel’s very bad week indeed.

What we were discussing earlier, @yorkshirebylines.co.uk
Just a shame that Britain has gutted its local newspaper industry so there's nobody to investigate Reform councils, or tell voters just how fucking useless, dangerous and dysfunctional Reform are when in power...
If you are watching the Reform Party controlled Councils with their endless mishaps, resignations, fallouts, scandals, mismanagement and sheer comedic idiocy, but still thinking of making these clowns a national government, representing the UK on the global stage, you are literally insane.
