I've finally had a chance to review the NBER 'working paper' which claims that Brexit has already reduced UK GDP by 8% since the vote to leave in 2016... 🤔 At first sight, this figure fails a simple 'smell test'. A closer look confirms that the analysis is flawed... 🧵

Starmer & Reeves lied about the £22bn black hole to justify austerity and tax rises. Pensioners, disabled, small businesses and farmers were punished as a result of this lie. This is a huge story with enormous repercussions and yet the BBC are being so quiet on this.

🚨 Tulip Siddiq: convicted of corruption abroad, arrest warrant live, abused her position as a British MP to steal land. 👉Still has the Labour whip. 👉Still paid £91k. 👉Still walks into Parliament. Starmer’s silence is deafening.

In short: the reason the Chancellor raised taxes in the Budget wasn't due to an OBR downgrade. It was because of CHOICES. A choice to raise welfare spending. A choice to leave more headroom vs its fiscal rule. To imply this was down to the OBR is misleading, plain and simple.

The utter nerve of Keir Starmer talking about “a long-term plan for economic renewal” and “a Britain that is freed from decline.” He literally just passed a budget that raised taxes to peacetime highs in order to firehose money at welfare claimants.

“David Lammy’s war on jury trials is an ‘attack on free speech’ – verdicts prove it” The Free Speech Union will campaign against the Deputy Prime Minister’s proposal to scrap jury trials after our research found that defendants facing juries were nearly twice as likely to be

This Government found more money for benefits and illegal migrants. But not to get our courts sitting round the clock. So, today, David Lammy is scrapping jury trials for the vast majority of cases.

“I buy avocados that are grown in Mexico and shipped to the UK.” “I buy tomatoes that are grown in Morocco and shipped to the UK.” “I buy quinoa that is grown in Bolivia and shipped to the UK.” "Red meat from local UK farmers should be reduced. It’s bad for the planet.” 🤷‍♂️

This government will Try you without a jury Block your puberty and Assist your suicide This is not normal politics, this is fundamental political dysfunction.

Have you noticed the common denominator in everything the government’s doing? They’re rushing through policies with major consequences, on the grounds of a quick fix;- ⏩ Scrapping jury trials ‘to clear court backlog.’ ⏩Freeing prisoners early ‘to free up cells.’ ⏩Suiciding

What the hell is wrong with Lammy???

And if we rejoin the EU Customs Union what happens to the post-Brexit trade deals he’s always boasting about?

Love this.

🚨HOLY SH*T. THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT HAS ADMITTED IT COLLECTS OUR SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS They are using AI to assess the posts for what they call 'misinformation' or more likely people disagreeing with them This is crazy. It's 1984. The UK is not a free country

Labour MPs have voted through inheritance tax on family farms which will decimate thousands of farmers. Shameful. And it’s made despicably worse because Rachel Reeves fibbed about the “£22bn black hole” to instigate this appalling punishment on family farmers.

"Hundreds of thousands of people drew down [pensions] prematurely this year.. so people's pensions have been damaged due to the [budget] speculation." Absolutely damning from one of the UK's biggest financial advisors. This is the real impact of Reeves' budget lies. She must go.

You don’t lift children out of poverty by making the whole country poorer. Starmer used to say removing the two-child benefit cap was unaffordable. He banished 7 of his own MPs for backing it. Now it's suddenly become affordable at the exact time he needed to save his own skin.

I can’t work out whether he is wilfully lying, a bit thick or having a laugh.

Jacob is always worth listening to, never more so than here. youtu.be/ok1lKgGuFlU?si…
