Well if I am reading that correctly (lthough i did nearly lose the will to live) then

its all do with them retrospectively applying more recent "methodological changes" to historical forecasts/data/estimates which in turn leads to a different outcome.

So perhaps f**ked up is too string a term but its got nothing to do with Brexit, elections, Corbyn, Blair or anyone or anything else political but more to do with changes in accounting practices and the accepted methodology for measuring these things and perhaps to put to another way nobody has "lost" £500bn it just wasn't there in the first place if they had applied the same methodology then as they are doing now.
