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.
‘You have done a better job than any cabinet minister of telling us the story of Keir Starmer’s successes.’
As Wes Streeting resigns, Caller Martin reminds @TomSwarbrick1 of what the PM has delivered.
Nigel Farage didn't turn up folks.
Knew his story wouldn't stack up over the £5million gift he received.
Knew he would be exposed nationally as the fraud he is and couldn't risk losing votes before May 7th
Guess who did turn up? @ZackPolanski
Here is the reality:
- UK regains position of 5th largest economy in the world
- Govt borrowing lowest since 2019
- Growth higher than expected
- Finance sector fastest turnaround since 1996
- NHS waiting lists down nearly half a mil.
- Min Wage now £26k
Labour are a good govt.
If only we had a few on the Opposition benches like this, who could understand that sometimes you need to defend your own government and your own country rather than follow the lead of a Trump or in some cases a Putin and in some cases both
Farage and Reform wasted police time?
A Greater Manchester Police investigation found no evidence of any intent to influence or stop any person from voting at the Gorton and Denton by-election.
The Tories reduced face to face appointments to almost zero when in power.
They then agreed new contracts embedding the reduction just months before the election.
Now they attack their own record and legacy while we sort out what they left behind.
Nigel Farage took £585,000 from GB News. His MPs declared another £770,000. Four billionaires have spent £170 million building the media machine putting Reform in your living room every night.
Today the Guardian exposed them and what they expect in return. This is a political project funded from the top.

Reform’s position on the war -
9 March, Economic spokesperson Robert Jenrick: ‘this war needs to come to an end as soon as possible because it is making Britain poorer….that’s why Nigel Farage immediately ruled out suggestions that the UK might deploy boots on the ground. Nor do we see why British aircraft should become involved in offensive action.’ Daily Telegraph
8 March, Reform Deputy Leader Richard Tice,: ‘We wld be helping the Americans and the Israelis in any way they saw appropriate’ GB News
28 February Reform leader, Nigel Farage ‘ The Prime Minister needs to change his mind on the use of our military bases and back the Americans in this vital fight against Iran!’ Post on X
EXC: Nigel Farage defends Reform-run Kent County Council increasing council tax by 3.99% despite election leaflets last year pledging to “reduce waste and cut your taxes”.
Mr Farage told me: “Cutting taxes can be not putting them up as much, I suppose.”
