Here's an article from 2014 which makes for quite interesting reading through 2022 eyes

Pretty much all the main parties in Germany (CSU/CDU, SPD) have the same energy policies.

There are discrepancies between the figures shown in these two sources.
The government one (for 2018) says the deficit was down compared to the 2017 figure.
You'd need the import figures to complete the picture.
Would there be a way of normalising the figures against the value of the post-Brexit pound?
I guess the government has been bending over backwards to help big companies to get big orders out. A lot of smaller businesses have been affected by this. Do they take into consideration that some distribution centres have been moved to the EU?

It’s Western Europe not the World. And that sensationalist title actually detracts from a thoughtful piece.

The UK economic path looks bleak going forward. Take out the UK’s financial prowess and it looks structurally weak.
