‘Express gonna Express’: Paper ridiculed for latest Brexit blunder

The Daily Express is at it again, this time touting a non-existent Brexit benefit for Britain.

The Daily Express has declared the European Union “stunned”, in a sensationalist story which claims a member state has “broken cover” to admit the “huge benefits” of Brexit.

But the “benefits” in question are not to Britain, or any other country outside the EU, but to a remaining member state itself: Estonia.

The paper wrote: “According to the Estonian Prime Minister, Kaja Kallas, Brexit has provided a huge boost to the country. With the UK now out of the EU, British professionals have utilised the country’s e-Residency programme to launch their companies.

“Due to the influx of British companies who have picked Estonia over the other EU states since the referendum, Ms Kallas claimed the country had gained €51 million (£42 million) in tax.”

It’s not even the first time this week the Express has been ribbed by punters.

The paper appeared caught in two minds earlier this week after publishing an anti-immigrant story next to news of a ‘history’ victory for British tennis player Emma Raducanu, who was born in Canada to a Romanian father and a Chinese mother.

Several newspapers reported that members of Border Force are being given special training to handle migrant boats, but would only deploy the “pushback” tactics when deemed practical and safe to do so.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
