The Treasury has claimed that the national income of Britain could be six per cent smaller by 2030, if we “Brexit.”

The report, which runs at 200 pages, concludes that the cut in Britain’s GDP would be around £4,300 per year for each household.

They think this will be caused by higher trade barriers, which will damage exports. Investment will also be lower from abroad and from within the UK itself.

• The so-called “clean break” or World Trade Organisation option, in which the UK trades with the rest of the EU and other nations along the rules laid down by the WTO.

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.
