Chancellor dismisses own advisers, denies Brexit will 'make us poorer'
Jeremy Hunt has denied predictions from his own economic watchdog and said he does not accept that Brexit is 'making us poorer'.
In a heated interview, the Chancellor has been confronted with its watchdog's analysis that leaving the EU will take £100bn out of production and £40bn out of revenue by the end of the decade.
But Mr. Hunt, when asked about the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) analysis of a 4% fall in GDP, replied: "I don't accept the 4%."
