Why don't you agree with the cross-department expertise that the Brexit-orientated British Government has employed? Do you think your Brexit Government has deliberately picked an incompetent bunch of pessimists when they could have easily chosen a bunch of people with your outlook but would firm up some calculations to support such wildly optimistic views?
Or do you think that they've actually got a great bunch of experts who've looked into things deeply, crunched the numbers exhaustively and come up with some very probable scenarios which to Brexiters like BoJo are an uncomfortable truth.

Meanwhile, have Putin's useful idiots have been revealed? Nope. Not Jeremy Corbyn, Putin would not waste his time there. We're talking about Aaron Banks and side-kick Andy Wigmore.You know it must be bad when Nigel Farage is distancing himself from it
Quote:
Mr Banks had a total of three meetings with Alexander Yakovenko in the build-up to and after the EU referendum in June 2016, according to emails seen by two Sunday newspapers.
He had previously admitted only to a “six-hour boozy lunch” in November 2015 with the Russian ambassador in his book The Bad Boys of Brexit.
The emergence of apparently closer contact between Mr Banks, his Leave.EU aide Andy Wigmore, and senior Russian state officials will increase suspicions that the Kremlin sought to influence and disrupt western electoral processes. It is also likely to add spice to questioning of him and Mr Wigmore by a committee of MPs this week...
An ally of Nigel Farage, the former UK Independence party leader, Mr Banks has donated £1.3m to Ukip since 2014. During the referendum campaign he set up his own group, Leave.EU, to which he lent £6m. Leave.EU was a rival set-up to Vote Leave, the official campaign.

He [Aaron Banks] is under investigation by the Electoral Commission over his donations to pro-Brexit campaigns. Its inquiry started in November and is examining whether the businessman “was the true source of loans” made by him to Leave.EU, and whether Better for the Country Ltd, a company he controlled, was “the true source of donations made to referendum campaigners in its name”.
Banks has also now been told by Companies House that he must publish the accounts of the offshore holding company ICS Risk Solutions, which he uses to finance his activities.
