David Davis has been called to resign over lies about the Brexit impact assessments.
The Brexit Secretary was today forced to admit that the government has not assessed the impact of Brexit for different sections of economy to the EU select committee.

But the revelations are in stark contrast to what he said in front of the same committee in December 2016.
On 14th December Davis said: “We are in the midst of carrying out about 57 sets of analysis, each has implications for individual parts of 85 per cent of the economy.
“Some of these are still to be concluded.
