Chancellor astonishes country after saying Brexit has harmed economy

There have been cries of "get away?", "Goodness me, that's a surprise" and "well I never." from commentators up and down the nation after Rachel Reeves has said that Brexit has harmed the economy.

One economist tried to explain. "It turns out there's a link between losing £500M a week and the economy going down the crapper. Who'd have thought it?"

In unrelated news, it has been announced that the British people are the most sarcastic in Europe.
