Jump of £37bn in budget deficit by 2040 would force government to increase taxes, NIESR predicts The UK economy would be 3.6% smaller by 2040 if net migration fell to zero, forcing the government to raise taxes to combat a much bigger budget deficit, a thinktank has predicted.

Melania film earns $8m in US, strongest documentary debut in over a decade
However Melania fell substantially short of turning a profit because it cost $40m to make and $35m to promote Amazon’s Melania Trump documentary has reportedly beaten box office expectations and recorded the strongest start of any documentary in over a decade, taking more than $8m at the US box office during its lavishly-promoted opening weekend.
