Economist Mariana Mazzucato says Brexit led to businesses leaving the UK, shrank market opportunities and damaged investment.
She tells The Fourcast that Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson have still not been held accountable for what she calls one of the country's biggest economic mistakes.
Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson have both denied lying to the public.
What these extraordinary numbers make clear is that Reform is less a political party and more a very highly paid public-facing lobby group for oil and gas interests

Return your unwanted Reform UK flyers to this address and it costs them £2.50 a pop.
Pop this address on an envelope with the flyer in, and pop it in a post box!
The more we return, the less they will send!
Since privatisation water companies have taken more than £85billion in dividend and piled up more than £60billion of debt.
Yet all capital and operational costs are covered by bill payers.
So why keep a privatised structure for a natural monopoly like water?
Watch this from Historian Sir Anthony Seldon 👏
➡️ Calls to wipe student debt and pay for it out of general taxation
➡️ Bring in Martin Lewis and give him four weeks to find a solution

The 12 richest billionaires own more than the four billion poorest, and this "inequality is soaring" due to capitalism - explains economist Clara Mattei on Ways to Change the World.
Ellie Chowns, "Reform UK, before it was the Brexit Party, before when it was UKIP, has been busy for many years fermenting this idea that immigration is the problem in this country"
"It's completely untrue"
"Inequality is the problem in this country"
"The housing problems is because we have had 40 years of governments not investing in housing"
"The health problems is because we've had governments failing, including a government of which you were a part of for 14 years failing to invest in our public services, presiding over decline"
"It's inequality"
*huge clap*
Matthew Syed, "Jim Ratcliffe is quite an obnoxious character"
"He talks about himself as a great patriot and wraps himself in the union jack"
"Having benefitted from this country, being educated in this country, when he had the opportunity to offshore his tax liabilities, he saved £4 billion by going to Monaco"
"I think that's deeply hypocritical"
"I don't like the language, we have not been colonised"
I want Palantir OUT of the UK.
Every bit of it.
Removed from the UK and banned from all contracting process with UK government, national, regional, local.
National insurance hike and energy bills behind food price rise, say UK retailers.
No mention of the role of private equity ownership of supermarkets, restaurants and pubs. No mention of profiteering, exec pay, dividends or profit shifting to dodge taxes.
