Brexit Referendum - Page 221 - Politics and Economics

Nissan investing in Sunderland factory. Growth higher than expected, with no sign of recession in near future.

Brexit hasn't exactly gone as the experts foretold then...

And guess why that is? The government has given assurances that it will compensate NMGB for any losses it suffers through tariffs etc.

Clearly you think this is a good thing. I didn't realise you're a Socialist.

All I can find is assurances from the UK gov, not actual concrete details of any deal.

Lektors magic Manufacturing renaissance happening after Brexit.........oh wait.

In the last quarter.

Construction shrank by 1.4%
Agriculture shrank bu 0.7%
Industrial production shrank by 0.4%
And manufacturing (part of production) shrank by 1%

So more reliance on financial services it is then.

It shows how totally skewed the UK economy is that to offset the above Services grew only by 0.8%, but that is in pure cash terms enough to produce 0.5% Gdp.

So the rest of the economy shrunk by 3.1% and Services grew by 0.64% giving us positive over all GDP of 0.5%.

Seems sustainable.

Did not realise the weightings were quite this bad.

According to ONS.

The current 2013-based weights are: services 78.8%; production 14.6%; construction 5.9%; and agriculture 0.7%.

so the Walloons standing up for principle and fighting neoliberalism was mainly about getting some protection for their farmers?

honestly no group deserves to get ****ed more than protectionist farmers.

So CETA is still alive and Nissan invested after all after - goverment assurances but definitely not after the promise of 'financial compensation' no no no, oh no no no.

Who would have guessed?

So is it's growth more or less than 0.5%? And what is the highest growth country currently in the EU now Brexit is 100+ days old?

Convinced 4 packs of chocolate bars for a quid have reduced in size by 20%.

Will do a scientific test to confirm if I can.
