A little earlier, Johnson claimed that “we have now got the fastest growth in the G7”. The Group of Seven, or G7, is a group of advanced economies made up of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK and the USA. The UK economy is estimated to have grown by 6.8% last year, more than any other G7 country. However, with the exception of Japan, the UK economy also shrunk the furthest of the seven over the course of pandemic, between late 2019 and late 2021.

Freeports were always available to the UK. Nobody knows what they are or if they are of any benefit but they had nothing to do with EU membership. 7. Alcohol duties were always under the remit of the UK's Chancellor. 9.The levelling up fund has already been found to be far less than what EU funding was. Yep, they were and indeed we had several whilst we were in the EU - up until 2012 when the Tories scrapped them because they were such a cr@p idea, and as it happens the EU are now starting to consider scrapping them for the same reason.

Well if you did know what a freeport is you wouldn't be so thick as not to realise they were allowed while we were a member of the EU. You would also realise that freeports are subject to a huge amount of criticism for their vulnerability to money laundering and smuggling, and the fact that at a time of massive financial need they starve the country of much needed tax revenue.
