Public sentiment changing on Brexit? No Brexit thanks very muchI predict in 2 years time when the 'deal' reveals itself there will only be a small number of head bangers left calling for a smaller and more insular GB. What will we do when that happens? Heaven only knows...but Gove, Farrage, BoJo, Nuttall, Hamilton and the rest of brexits top boys will be long gone, no doubt enjoying their holiday homes in Southern Europe if they are not in the funny farm. |

I need some of essex's big ass font here. The UK is still a member state of the EU. Therefore our recent economic performance is influenced not only by confidence levels after the Brexit vote, but also, (and here's where I want me some of dat sweet font size) the trading conditions provided by EU and single market membership.

"The UK economy endured a worse-than-expected slowdown in the first three months of the year as sliding retail sales and a jump in living costs took its toll on growth, PA reports.
The Office for National Statistics said GDP grew by 0.3% in its initial estimate for the first quarter of 2017, down from 0.7% in the fourth quarter of last year.
Economists had been expecting GDP growth to slow as consumers tightened their belts in the face of rising inflation, but they had pencilled in a higher growth figure of 0.4%.
The ONS said: “There were falls in several important consumer-focused industries, such as retail sales and accommodation; this was due in part to prices increasing more than spending.”"
Just 2 years ago George Osborne said Britain was enjoying an economic miracle! Miracle? More like a mirage!

If only we had someone with a hard nosed business sense to run the economy, someone who made astute decisions like selling off all our gold reserves at a time when precious metal prices were at 20 year low, some one who could inherit a thriving economy and bankrupt the nation with financial deregulation, someone of real moral character who'd call a life long Labour voter a bigot, just for expressing reservations about immigration, someone from a party with a history of mismanagement of the economy and reckless spending, but who? |

Tories running the economy better than Labour is simply a myth. Labour have a far better financial record when in government. This is an actual fact, not an opinion. |

But I thought Blair's labour was not real labour and bears no resemblance what we have now... so I keep getting told. You can't have it both ways...

Actually it's a true false fact, Labour come in after the Tories generally and inherit their deficit, Tories come in after Labour and inherit their deficit, 150 billion a year plus the last time Again a Tory lie! The Labour Party inherited a war time economy in 1945 and left the Tories record exports! Labour inherited an economy in 1964 on the brink of an economic crisis and left a massive trade surplus which Anthony Barber squandered leaving a 3 day week! Despite being in power for 13 years during the North Sea oil boom they squandered the money on 3 million unemployed having caused not one but two recessions! We were promised in 2010 the country would have no deficit in 2015 but instead it'll be 2022 and beyond before we have no deficits. Hammond has disappeared from our t.v. screens to-day! Chicken Hammond, Chicken May and the cuckoo-in-the nest Johnson! |

The cost of living is still going up and wages are completely stagnating, of course the economy is going to suffer when people have to adhere to zero hour contracts that should be illegal in the first place for an absolute pittance just to put food on the table.
What the fuck do we pay these "financial experts" for?

as we get closer to brexit the economy will probabaly fall into recession. uncertainty is not good for the economy. and i fail to see how its going to improve seeing as the people were conned into voting brexit thus sticking two fingers up at our biggest trading partners.

The futures bright, the futures Tory. You've really swallowed the artificially sweetened easily digestible morsels from the Mail et al haven't you, dave. I imagine they taste like those energy bars that lycra-clad middle aged cyclists guzzle when they have no time for anything more substantial The less easily palatable stuff - like actual facts and that - evidently got rejected by your fragile constitution. Because all you're doing here is regurgitating the top line contents of Tory leaflets. No substance, no attempt to reason with what's put to you |
