     Well done, Sadiq Khan. One of the very few mainstream politicians (in England, at least) brave enough to speak the unspeakable.
     * UK economy £140bn smaller than it would have been without Brexit – shrinkage of 6%
     * 1.8 million fewer jobs — a drop of 4.8%
     * Average Briton nearly £2,000 worse off (typical Londoner £3,400 worse off)
     He wants "a pragmatic debate" on the UK rejoining the Single Market and Customs Union.
     OVER TO YOU, KEIR STARMER.
