Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell for decades (before they shamefully backslided)
Mick Cash (RMT)
Mick Whelan (ASLEF)
Ronnie Draper (BFAWU)
Doug Nicholls (TUAEU)

Why is it not one socialist on HOL agrees with these guys?

Funny isn't it? That when there is good news like increased retail spending and the fastest growth forecasts in the G7, it's because we haven't actually left the EU yet.

Yet when there is bad news it is ALL Brexit's fault. Makes very little sense.

The fact is that our economy has not gone through any fundamental change yet, and won't for a while. We still have decent job growth, investor confidence and consumer confidence, problem is that this is being funded by startling levels of state debt that has been built up by both Labour and Conservatives.

Do you think they should have been in receipt of EU funds whilst they were "informing" the public during the referendum?

Of course you do.

What about Deloitte who constructed the 'leaked memo' feeding anti Brexit propaganda to the Times? How many millions have they trousered from the EU? The pro EU Times happy to publish EU propaganda as fact which the BBC follow up on with glee. More examples of corporate cronyism.

You using Guido as a numerical reference point, dave? Now i really am worried.

CBI has 200,000 paying subscribers - doing your's and Guido's maths that means they pay a whopping £3.20 each annually.

You are both spreading misinformation. Desperate times?

FAQs for the CBI

Why do you receive money from the European Commission then?

"The CBI conducts a number of monthly and quarterly economic surveys of businesses, on manufacturing, retail, and service sectors, which are an important bellwether of UK business and economic trends.

These surveys are used by the European Commission to enable it to collect robust European-wide economic data, as it does from all the 28 EU member states. As part of this, the CBI takes part in a competitive tendering process (every 4 years) to provide data on the UK economy on a regular basis, and as a result the European Commission currently contributes to some of the financing of these economic surveys.

This amounts to around £148,000 per year, representing around 0.6% of our annual income. It is a measure of the reliability of our data that we are able to do this, and any money received in this way is ring-fenced for this purpose."
