It's about 5% up on 9 months ago!
Is that where it slightly recovered from the brexit freefall ....even now I think you have to go back to 1985 to find it any lower.

JRM isn't bothered how long it takes the UK to come good after Brexit - his firm doesn't invest in the UK, it's all "emerging markets" for them. Or maybe JRM wants the UK to flop so it becomes an emerging market ripe for him to profit from...Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

How about 'when the UK leaves the deal will go from covering:
'nearly a third of world GDP'
to
'just under a quarter of world GDP'.
The UK must be a GIGANTIC economy to make such a difference!
You appear to be more concerned with the accuracy of post- Referendum data, compared to the pre-Referendum figures used by the Leave campaign.

If they had seen on the side of the bus:
"We send the EU £234 million a week. Let's fund the NHS instead"
Would they have thought.
'No, you're not getting my vote. Only if it were £350 million a week would I vote for it'

The UK has a good "Trade Deal" with the EU, but voted to Leave it. IMO, it's a bit naive to believe that the UK will get a replacement deal that's as good. I hope I'm wrong!2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE

On Bloomberg today Raab announced that that UK wouldn't honor the £39B divorce bill in the event of a hard brexit. I guess nobody read Dale Carnegie’s how to win friends and influence people.

What’s they saying? Oh yes, nothings agreed until everything’s agreed.

All of that is posturing at this time, of course, but countries usually need to honor their obligations.

No the withdrawal agreement is already signed and in place before trade could be discussed. Bringing it back to the table now is a demonstration of how poor a choice Raab is.
Oh and he is one of the leading lying parties of Leave that broke the law. He should be in jail.
