    Boris says the people have spoken. But all the key claims that Leave used to persuade them have been removed from its website. Breathtaking.

    So we can create a furlough scheme for 11m people in a matter of weeks, but we can’t raise benefits more than once a year…

    Not many laughs in Richard II usually. But these lines brought plenty at @The_Globe tonight: “That England, that was wont to conquer others, Hath made a shameful conquest of itself.”...#closetothebone

    Qte an achievement for small open economy like UK to be slashing growth forecasts when global economy enjoying most synchronised recovery since 2007 and our biggest trading partner is seeing best growth in a decade.

    Seconding this. Newsnight was my first home in broadcast journalism and the Newsnight team my first BBC family. Many many films made there - whether ‘on the day’ or over weeks - that would not have been made anywhere else. A sad day.

    It’s true. @BBCNewsnight is our Hotel California. All of us who checked out never really left. We lived through extraordinary times with the most incredible team spirit. And our thoughts are with the whole team tonight.

    Extraordinary the Chancellor's grandest announcement - the £7bn National Productivity Investment Fund - doesn't begin until 2022-3. Not a penny spent before then. So not such an urgent problem after all...

    This is really disturbing. At least 1.3m fake public comments supporting the end of net neutrality - in the real world it's previously triggered a huge amount of popular opposition.

    Key nugget from OBR: the windfall which the Chancellor just spent on tax cuts “is mainly a reflection of a £19.1bn erosion in the real value of departmental spending.” That’s the “significant and growing risk to our forecast” - ticking time bomb for the next parliament.

    I wrote for @Telegraph today about my dad Michael Flanders, who caught polio at 21 in the navy. He achieved so much after that, but polio was part of why he didn’t see me grow up. One last push & polio will be GONE. #WorldPolioDay #EndPolio @GlblCtznUK

    Replying to @montie
    Germany doesnt seem to get it either. Up to its neck in EU but growing twice as fast as UK with 35% higher productivity. Also the developed world's most successful exporter in all those nimbleness-requiring global markets. Go figure.
