AN economist has accused Jacob Rees-Mogg of using a “criminally misleading” chart to attack Labour’s devolution plans, arguing the Tory grandee’s graph misrepresents how much Scotland's economy has grown compared to England's.
Rees-Mogg shared a bar chart on social media claiming to show that England had higher GDP growth than Scotland and Wales from 2000 until 2025, framing further devolution as "not the answer".
