So, the big #BrexitDebate is happening on BBC, or perhaps ITV, or maybe not at all. All clear as mud. What's crystal clear is we won't get a moment to rival Yvette Cooper's masterful dismantling of Theresa May's Brexit plan in today's Liaison Committee.

Here's the question I would love to see Theresa May pushed to give a PROPER answer to:
"Comparing like for like, *not* compared to today's figures, will your Brexit agreement leave the UK better off or worse off in 15 years time than it would otherwise be in 15 years time?"
"Comparing like for like, *not* compared to today's figures, will your Brexit agreement leave the UK better off or worse off in 15 years time than it would otherwise be in 15 years time?"
It's a mouthful and could I'm sure be improved upon, but both the preamble and the repetition feel necessary because Theresa May keeps avoiding the issue by pretending people are asking her similar questions vs "today".
Of course the UK will be better off in 15 years time in raw
Of course the UK will be better off in 15 years time in raw
GDP terms. If not, we're dead as a country because inflation will keep right on nibbling away at the value of our output.
So it's whether Brexit lifts us up or drags us down vs the status quo that's important.
