UK’s post Brexit EU “divorce bill” reaches €50 billion, confirms Treasury... up from €40-45bn...

assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl…
rather remember catalogue of angry abuse and ‘fake news’ accusations on here when I gently suggested 50bn euro divorce bill was coming, five years ago, after having been told about it on and off record... and we were basically starting to accept paying it news.sky.com/story/uk-faces…
Also led to my all time no 1 favourite doorstep of PM May at 2am in morning Brussels...

PM, is it true youre gonna pay 50bn euros to EU as part of a divorce deal?

May: “its been a constructive summit, and i look forward to working closely with our European partners”. Walks off.

On public sector pay awards, these are the things to watch for...

Will the Govt just wave through the recommendations of the pay review bodies or adjust them in some way?

Has the Treasury provided more cash to fund above settlements above what has been planned?
The purpose of the pay review process is to balance off a comparison of pay levels with recruitment and retainment challenges (lots)...

Treasury was clearly saying last month that any department that wanted to fund higher settlements would have to find savings elsewhere...
There will be differences - eg new teachers are already on target for a significant rise under the plan to raise their wages to 30k, up 9% this year and 7% next...

Also worth looking out for Govt amalgamating this year and next...

Also these rises backdated to April

Truly remarkable opening sequence to the second leaders debate, Cabinet ministers viciously attacking their own Government’s economic record, Bank of England drawn in to the leadership campaign, with calls to look at its remit...
More Squid Game than party hustings...
Quite a lot to unpick just from the economic section, ie it is plausible that the result of this could lead to a material change in fiscal policy ... and possibly monetary policy too

so let me have a go... Thread:
