A rather astounding letter from The Times this morning, considering who the writer is, which implies that the Brexit Secretary, David Davis lied when he claimed that no overall assessment of the effects of Brexit had been carried out.
Would you buy a used car from these people!!!

Brexit assessments
Sir, David Davis, the Brexit secretary, told the House of Commons that the government has made no overall assessment of the effect of Brexit on the UK economy. We know that nearly 60 sectoral appraisals have been concluded, that they are too damaging to publish and yet are asked to believe that no summary exists. The Office for Budget Responsibility can apparently advise the chancellor to lower growth assumptions with no analysis of the Brexit consequences. The chancellor accepts the advice and lowers growth in his budget without the Treasury attempting to scrutinise the calculations behind the advice. Does the British government so fear the conclusions that it has refused to explore them or does the government actually know the conclusions and thus decided to suppress them?
