all right man it's phil i like talking about politics and in this friday look at how brexit is being presented in the media i'd like to take a look at a poll a turn of phrase by a telegraph editor and a story in the bbc news making it clear that brexit is twice as bad as covid but first if you'd like to be notified of daily news and politics please subscribe to the channel and click the bell notification icon so the poll first of all because it's quick ipsos murray have published a report which shows that for the first time since we left the eu brexit is considered the most important issue for the british public or that is more of the british public consider it the top issue than any other issue it's just overtaking concerns over kofi now i'm not going to run a full analysis on this as much as i would like to hence my using at the start of this video because with the action by france which i'll be talking about in a few hours time there's simply going to be too much to talk about next week for me to use an entire slots talking about this poll which is a bit of a shame because i think it's fairly momentous it means that there is opportunity in really getting the brexit debate going now the interest amongst the public is being increased nothing like you know they they it's nothing like a majority considering it the top issue just more people considering the top issue than people considering any other issue the top issue and it's nothing like the level of interest in NUMBER_TOKEN but it does look like it's on the increase and you can't imagine that this trend will be halted anytime soon so now on to the media so let's start with the bbc's is the main one bbc news story that the office for budgetary responsibility has said that the economic shock of brexit is twice as bad as that of covid now this is important because the government have no problems talking up the damage that covert has caused our economy you know the headline news is that covid has caused uh an economic shock of two percent of our gdp brexit is four percent now if the government wished to downplay both they could easily try and convince people however these are small percentages they don't really mean anything um but because the government are saying oh no this is a very serious economic shock from brexit from covert rather you cannot infer anything other than well brexit is twice as bad so twice as bad as a really big shock is surely a really really big shock rishi sonak said that kovid has meant the biggest shock to our economy NUMBER_TOKEN years that's funny i thought because that's exactly what economists have been saying about brexit for some time now and of course sonak is wrong it might well be that kovid would have been the biggest shock to our economy for NUMBER_TOKEN years were it not for brexit but the obr has said that the pandemic has caused a hit of two percent of gdp and four percent for brexit now the two percent of gdp absolutely huge for a single event to be sure but with brexit resulting in a permanent and a
