And also today a leaked cabinet document has revealed that hard Breixt would result in a loss of revenue to the treasury of up to £66billion a year - to put that in context that is 65% of the total budget of the NHS.
It's not a leaked document it is something done during the referendum by the Remain lot and a load of bogus nonsense.

It's been widely reported across the political spectrum:

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/oct/11/hard-brexit-treasury-66bn-eu-single-market

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/1951391/treasury-will-lose-up-to-66bn-a-year-in-tax-revenues-if-it-pursues-a-hard-brexit-warn-leaked-documents/

(the latter makes me wonder whether Arch-Duke Murdoch is getting cold feet)

A tax revenue short-fall of £66 billion seems pretty bad, but what it would actually mean would be an economy in very deep recession.

I wish I had the ability to 'make up' such accurate stuff. Sadly it's all happening - OPEN YOUR FUCKING EYES.

Nope - this is a document presented at a recent cabinet meeting outlining the likely economic hit from a hard Brexit. Nothing to do with the remain campaign.

Oh look a Brexiteer complaining because what he was told would happen if we chose to exit - is in fact happening.

BTW still waiting for that £350 million that is going to increase funds for the NHS, pay the farmers their subsidies, finance scientific research etc, etc.

You were sold a pup. A dud. A con trick.

Haven't you realized that yet.

Well other options are available. And if you do change Tesco will eventually notice and entice you back with offers of so much off an £80 shop or some such.

But surely the British people voted for higher prices.   Who would be so unpatriotic as to go against this?  I say, down with the Bremoaners, and their complaints.

The trouble is I dislike the other options. Now offers on a shop of £80 or over would be good, my weekly shop is usually more than £80.

I bet the country's Brexiteers will be making sure that they wear large, metaphorical blinkers so that they will never see that the price rises etc are their fault. It is so grossly unfair on the three-quarters of yung people who were remainers.

You can't have a free-falling pound without price rises and this is obviously only the beginning. Having said that I think Unilever are 'jumping the gun' a bit and Tesco have taken the opportunity to headline as the company who are fighting price rises.

Even if the £350 million were not fiction, it would still amount to only£18 billion a year - less than one third of the forecast shortfall.

Boris on what a bad thing a falling pound is

Actually 'Boris' its your fault for supporting Brexit and then talking about the timetable that the process of Brexit could take.  The currency WILL recover eventually - currencies always do - but the timetable for that is open to debate.
