  • Project fear was right all along.

    Says the Daily Telegraph.

    "Downbeat predictions on the economic consequences of leaving the EU have turned out to be overwhelmingly correct", Jeremy Warner said.

    Indeed. Curious that James "Philomena Cunk" Wales is notably absent.

        So we have a trade deal with the Americans?

        Brexit and the current tories are the last tantrum of a generation that can't handle a world that wants more equality and improvement in life quality for all. Those who ingested lead paint as kids have done their best to make the lives of generations that come after them more difficult.

          Bro, the other countries are doing just as bad or even worse than us, so how do you explain that?

              Is that the view from Litherland?

                They aren't though really are they.

                What's your proof of this?

                      Sterling losing nearly 20% of it's value against the euro since brexit is catastrophic, living standards for middle and lower income families falling to lower levels than any other Northern European economy is catastrophic, a government debt trajectory that could unless there are swingeing public sector cuts lead to an imf bailout is catastrophic, the only country forced to restart QE to buy its own debt, business supply chains totally ducked due to to red tape, customs and border delays. The list goes on and on. What happened to substance FDI into Wales? It used to be a thing once you know, unsurprisingly this seems to have all but vanished as we can no longer compete with our neighbours due our inability to provide a frictionless trading environment with Europe.

                        They wanted the power to rip up workers’ rights. They are still planning this. It won’t happen now of course. They are finished.

                          If they fail to rip up worker's rights it could prove a brake on project Brexit. Other willful acts of sabotage on environmental, planning, consumer and welfare issues could also prove unattainable because the political climate seems to have shifted from the heady days of 2016.

                          Now that the public have seen just how destructive right wing, libertarian, free market politics really are then such ideology will hopefully never have a chance to rear it's ugly head here ever again.

                              Now let's take a look at the same graph but up to August this year instead of May.

                              FOR GDP COMPARISON NERDS In May, the German economy looked sickly compared with the UK Now it looks soaraway.... That is what revisions can do... For the avoidance of doubt, I still hear #Brexit is going swimmingly But these figures are irrelevant https://t.co/J6XfGXn1iz


                              I've said this repeatedly on this board that you have a bunch of right wingers who don't understand data. You cherry pick information and apply your own narrative to it in the face of overwhelming evidence and act as if its fact.
