As Rachel Reeves (finally) swings behind an explicit statement that Brexit has cost the UK around 8% of GDP, we might ask what that looks like:
It equals around Β£224bn a year (in 2025), which given the UK's tax burden of around 35% is Β£78bn in lost tax revenue a year.
So if you wondering why the public sector is under-funded, while a continuing austerity logic is always in play, this lost tax income for the state is also contributing to budget shortfalls.
Chris O'shea owner of Centrica and British Gas is scandalously talking about gas prices on #bbclaurak, when asked if they will rise he says "we will have to wait and see" and "we don't want to panic people"
These Capitalist fuckers......
Centrica reported an adjusted operating profit of Β£0.8 billion for 2025 and Β£1.6 billion in 2024
When youβre looking at source code it can be helpful to have some evidence indicating who wrote it. Author tags give a surface level indication, but it turns out you can just lie and if someone isnβt paying attention when merging stuff thereβs certainly a risk that a commit could be merged with an author field that doesnβt represent reality. Account compromise can make this even worse - a PR being opened by a compromised user is going to be hard to distinguish from the authentic user.
