Oldie normally links to twitter.

Oldie normally links to twitter. Which is indicative of the breadth of information read by others? It's not my fault if others choose not to. Same with the Telegraph, the Economist. But not Project Syndicate. The point being, that Eric is making it up.

Unemployment at record low despite Treasury's pre-referendum warning of 500,000 job losses The latest figures from the Office for National Statistics show employment in the three months to January was its joint highest ever rate of 75.3%, while the jobless total stood at 4.3%. That brought the overall number of people in work to 32.25m, up more than 400,000 on the same period in 2016-17. "AHEM" COUGH-COUGH!!!! ‘DIY RECESSION’ Today’s figures are a boost for eurosceptics who criticised the Government’s pessimistic pre-referendum forecasts about the effect of a vote to leave the EU. In the run-up for the June 2016 vote, Treasury analysis claimed the UK could suffer a recession worth "around 3.6%" of GDP and the loss of 500,000 jobs in the two years after the referendum. The estimate was based on a "shock scenario" using what the department called "cautious assumptions" about the UK negotiating a bilateral trade deal with Brussels. Then chancellor George Osborne claimed the UK risked an immediate “DIY recession” if there was a vote to leave the EU, while David Cameron said it would “cost at least half a million jobs”. not having a go but be very wary of unemployment figures as they have been massaged for years, in either this thread or another i outlined the ways these figure are masked erm compiled

100 million pounds on leaflets on how to prepare for a no deal scenario. One can only imagine it will contain things such as 'buy a new yacht' and 'dont worry about your health, the 350 million a week is in the post' rather than any information about how to eat your dog.

How much did the government, or should I say the tax payer, spend on their leaflet before the referendum? Telling everyone to remain.

Tactic is so obvious isnt it.
Bluff hard on a no deal possibility to try and force EU in to renegotiating which is what they lied about being possible to begin with.
Tell the general public they voted for no deal to smoothover the fact that they obviously didnt and give them face to hold on to now the facts are clear and therefore a fictional mandate.
Either get a renegotiation of some description and sell hard that this is what the public wanted (what leaver will admit to otherwise).
Or
Get no renegotiation and blame the EU.
Then use Steve Bannon to bullshit the facebook masses to vote Boris because hes your mate and hes trying to give you what you always really wanted and get a mandate.
Its laughable how easily persuaded the British are.

Methinks you have got that figure wrong.

Methinks you have got that figure wrong. Including TV ads, it is up to £100m.

There is a huge amount in the WA that is totally unacceptable, not just the Irish Protocol.
