UK to be only G7 country in recession this year.

[Eric Cartman]

So basically when faced with facts about GDP that don't fit your narrative, instead of acknowledging them, you will reach for guesswork and a journalist to try and back you up?! Sounds like a familiar modern tale that!

We know some countries full data already so why don't you wait just over a week and we will have all the full 2022 GDP data that is actually real. Not hypotheses, real findings.

We can speculate over reasons behind it, but surely you recognise real data is better than guesswork?

I guess you either didn't mean to reply to me or you didn't read the link as it is based upon data from the last 40/50 years which is going to be far more robust in terms of seeing patterns emerge than just picking a year/metric to suit
