Extra spending can't be funded by Brexit dividend.
1) Govt has accepted Brexit will *weaken* public finances by £15bn pa
2) Financial settlement with EU plus commitments to replace EU funding already uses up all of our EU contributions in 2022
There is no Brexit dividend

Extra NHS funding at 3.4% p.a. means rises over next 5 years higher than over last 8, but still below long run average.
Extra £20bn means higher borrowing or higher taxes. Former incompatible with manifesto commitment.
Means health spending accelerating as % of total spending pic.twitter.com/yjJsjV03Uv

#IFSSatStat The likelihood of being in low paid work varies greatly across the UK. Employees in the Midlands & north England are more likely to have low wages so have been more affected by the national living wage than those in Scotland or south England ifs.org.uk/publications/1… pic.twitter.com/wGKrWUfV1q

Most poverty now within working households. Almost zero union coverage among lowest paid private sector workers. Pay still lower than a decade ago. More self employed and their incomes down more than earnings of employees. NLW alone can’t fix this. twitter.com/fletcherr/stat…

We find the wages of low-paid employees have grown strongly since the introduction of the National Living Wage. But for the lowest-paid fifth of workers, average household net income grew by just 0.4% between 2015–16 and 2016–
