Government estimates that Brexit will cost £615m/week, that's 4 times the EU payments.

The Singapore low tax model is great if you are a small country where the amount you earn from cash inflows from overseas dwarves the amount lose from lowering the tax rates and cannibalising your own tax base, so hardly a relevant model for the UK.

I'm not sure enough of the British public fancies seeing public services hacked to pieces to cover the tax cuts required to see us recreate the libertrian low tax paradise some seem to fantasise over.

Really?

Applies to the West in general. To admit that the Singapore model is better. Would meam admitting that the West has got it totally wrong! Requiring a complete sea change of approach. That includes the EU.

A sea change is more likely for the UK if it's boots weren't stuck in EU mud.

Because it's a small country that has become very rich at least partly through becoming a tax haven, as I have said many times before the problem for the UK is you lose more in taxes on the existing large tax base if you race to the bottom on rates than you do from any inflows, so you will have to cull public services here if you slash tax rates.

Generally in the UK we seem to have an age old problem, we want Scaninavian level government services and tax haven level tax rates!

MICHAEL Gove has come up with an idea of how to plug the shortfall of EU workers once the UK leaves the political union – by taking in migrants from Ukraine.

Yay, less Polski Skleps and more Ukrainian cornershops.
I wonder if the average brexiteer will notice the difference.

As long as they don't have to waddle more than 50 yards in stained track suit bottoms to some form of vendor that will sell them a multipack of sour cream Pringles, I doubt they will really notice.

It says a lot about this shower that I had to click to check if it was satire.

And it wasn't...
