Turnover is not revenue.

GDP growth is not the same kind of things as budget expenditure (such as EU payments)

Most of them don't work, being either unemployed or retired. Instead, let's cut state pensions and unemployment benefits It's a good Tory policy too, so the Boris voters should be in full support

Leavers must be identified and given a shafting sized tax code.

It's only "£200 billion in lost economic growth" so a guess. No-one knows how staying would have worked out. Perhaps we'd have had lower growth and lost £200 trillion. Anyway, Bloomberg Economics are remoaners, and who listens to experts anyway.

Oh look... a unicorn!

Don't believe anything unless you see it on the side of a bus.

Brexit - reassuringly expensive

Brexit will soon have cost the UK more than all of its payments to the EU over the last 47 years put together

According to research by Bloomberg Economics, the cost of the UK's vote to leave has already reached £130 billion, with a further £70 billion likely to be added by the end of 2020.

That almost eclipses the total amount the UK will have paid towards the EU budget over the past 47 years.
