The Treasury’s ‘Hard Brexit’ warning shows Project Fear isn’t over yet

the Treasury is at it again. Today’s Times reveals yet another figure from the ministry of made-up Brexit statistics: leaving the EU could be as much as £66bn in lost tax – that’s £20bn more than Britain’s annual defence budget and almost 70 per cent of the amount spent on education each year. A lot of money by anyone’s calculation and a stark warning to Leavers celebrating Theresa May’s tough stance on Brexit. But, unfortunately, it comes from the same people who made what must be the least believed dossier to have come out of Downing Street since…well, the last dodgy dossier.
