Brexit 'an act of pure economic sabotage and vandalism'

FIVE years since Brexit and a British Chancellor has finally called out Brexit for what it is.

An act of pure economic sabotage and vandalism.

Politics is finally catching up with economic reality.

The OBR (Office for Budget Responsibility) estimates it has wiped four per cent from our economy.

The resulting suppression of wages and loss in revenue for the treasury have increased the likelihood of tax rises in the upcoming budget.

New polling by Best for Britain shows three in five Brits now see Brexit as a failure with seven in 10 of these voters blaming Nigel Farage.

His silence on the subject speaks volumes.

Alongside pointing out the problem and those responsible, the government must increase efforts to work with the EU to undo the damage.

They must go further and faster in removing barriers to trade — unlocking growth, pushing prices down and putting money back in people’s pockets.
