I have quite clearly stated that 2020, 2021 and 2022 data is beset by the problems caused by Covid and Ukraine. Do you want me to say that again? When I did say that, I was asked what is wrong with existing data (presumably for 2022, I guess?) so I presented that and provided a link to an IMF report and then others moan about that!
None of this stuff, however you look at it, points to the abject failure and disaster that you want to think is happening, although yes, due to a much larger collapse in 2020 we are, I believe the only G7 country not to rise above our GDP from before the pandemic.
Do you agree that notwithstanding another year like the last three, that 2023 may prove to be the first year since leaving the EU that starts to provide a better picture of things?
