Headline aside, as it was a opinion piece does that now mean all opinions are lies?

Did you actually read it or just do your quick google to find and post the link?

Quote from Economists for Free Trade:

Brexit could boost the UK economy by as much as £135 billion a year, according to a comprehensive new report by a team of leading economists who argue that it is time to abandon the gloomy forecasts of Project Fear and embrace Project Prosperity – the mounting evidence that quitting the protectionist EU will transform Britain’s prospects over the next decade.

The surge in national output – worth about £5,000 a year to the average UK household – should also be accompanied by an 8 per cent fall in prices – which would add an average of £40 a week to such households, raising living standards, creating new, better paid jobs and cutting unemployment.

They include a reduction in their bills of £2.50 a week triggered by savings in benefits currently paid to unskilled EU immigrants.

The glowing assessment of Britain’s post-Brexit future comes in a 50-page report to be published in full in the autumn by Economists for Free Trade (EFT), a 16-strong group of experts, which includes Patrick Minford, Professor of Economics at Cardiff University and Roger Bootle, Chairman of Capital Economics, Europe’s largest macroeconomics consultancy.

To have any semblance of credibility to that article, the Telegraph needs to amend the headline "After 2020, all EU members will have to adopt the euro".

It doesn't appear to be fake news though, here is a report from closer to home:

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politi...itain-14117460

It's been suggested by a BBC political correspondent that next week May might say that, due to the lack of time left, MP's could be told "it's my deal or no Brexit".

I think he could have a point as May could then either get her deal accepted, or say that she tried to deliver the result of the referendum, but it was down to MP's preventing her that stopped this being possible.

This is especially so if MP's vote to rule out leaving without a deal.

I am not saying that the news is not true. The Mirror is more credible than The Daily Vlad however articles based on repeating what "diplomatic sources told the Telegraph" still leave a lot to be desired.

The cited monthly amount seems to be just click-bait as we pay over £1 billion per month anyway as EU members so if we do not leave, we still would be paying our dues.

Re: Brexit

How about instead of sniping at one another and you all actually debate the topic of Brexit

I actually previously read it - it has been proven to be untrue, and the evidence to prove it is untrue has been posted in this thread.

It was reported as a news piece (based on fact), rather than an opinion piece (based on, you know, opinions, from an avid Brexiteer).

As that article says "The Daily Telegraph has learnt.". They are merely just copying what the Daily Telegraph had said. How likely is it that the EU won't send us a huge bill?

They said years ago, there wouldn't be an EU Army - guess what Hugh ??

There is going to be a EU Army and corrupted cretins in the EU are championing for a EU Army.

Who you trying to kid?!?!?!? :rolleyes:

Could you show the proof please? I can't find anything beyond the Protocol 15 published in 2016 which does seem to refute the assertion that the UK will be forced to join the Euro.

I wonder how this will affect Denmark who, up until now, also has had an opt out to joining the Euro?
