Lol, if only I could afford it! Maybe someone with a gold-plated final salary scheme might afford it though...

Yes, does sound logical - can’t see it going down well with voters, but still!

Look, ultimately it’s impossible to say now as to whether or not Brexit was good or bad for the UK, and it’s all highly subjective.

I like to think of it as similar to claiming that Beethoven would have been an even better composer if his mother had shown him more affection. Something that is completely impossible to prove one way or the other.

If the EU referendum had gone the other way, if the UK government had ignored the result and stayed in*, then, possibly the world might look a bit different, maybe.

* Although the logical conclusion of this would be, yes we claim to be a democracy, but, sorry, screw you, the public, we know best!

Let the games commence :D

The OBR will cite it so I assume Reeves can add her own take on it. The next election is likely to be four years away but if we want growth and an end to ever-increasing tax rises, then I think re-joining the Single Market could make it into their manifesto.

Re: Britain outside the EU
 

Are you really missing those EU 'handouts' we used to get?

We won't get any growth if all we do is import (buy) things from everywhere else.

We also can't reduce taxation while 2/3 of the country are on benefits of one kind or another and the other 1/3 are screaming for wage rises :D

Either IN or OUT will not make the slightest difference now, it's a Global thing ;)

Well they odds on to lose the next election, they might as well make it a complete certainty
