In government, Starmer can say there are better ways of doing Brexit and try to move towards them, starting with May’s voluntary regulatory alignment and then later some kind of Single Market deal. It’s this chart in reverse (from the last official Brexit impact assessment).

What’s fascinating about the government’s non-dom troubles is how many of the Brexit cheerleaders clearly don’t believe in Britain and declared themselves citizens of nowhere to avoid paying their fair share of tax.
It’s almost as if Brexit was really about something else. 🤔

Very unconvincing explanation for the news blackout on the massive anti Brexit marches. BBC UK news editor Richard Burgess says he only covers marches if it’s a developing news story and there’s a chance something changes as a result. Guess what? No coverage means no change.

A technical point, but he had the right policy remedy for the financial crisis too. Focus public money on taking banks into public ownership (the Americans wanted to buy “troubled assets”) and keep fiscal policy as loose as possible.

Not what the Bank of England is saying. This is from Catherine Mann.
Brexit caused a 5% increase in the cost of living before Covid and Ukraine. Those global shocks come on top of the UK hit.
Starting a trade war with the EU over Ireland can only make this squeeze worse.

I’m an actuary, so yes. These guys follow the data very closely and estimate 10 million deaths from Covid so far worldwide.

Still, for a sense of the total global loss of life so far we think

estimate of 10 million is about right.
