Of course the UK's economy was growing the fastest. That's because it had sunk further than the others. The dead cat had further to bounce.

@remoanersrknts6736 Er, how about by the level of poverty that was inflicted? Not really something which matters to most economists because the poor are nothing more than an abstract statistic to them.

@remoanersrknts6736 Austerity (per Osborne and Cameron) was years before Brexit! But anyone who thinks that Brexit hasn't increased poverty needs someone to button them up the back. It's made everyone poorer but especially those at the bottom of the scale. But you've made my point for me. For some people, poverty is just a "measure". They haven't a clue what it actually means.

@remoanersrknts6736 I know my wages haven't kept pace with inflation. When I go to the supermarket, I'm paying at least 30% more than I was before Brexit. That's when what I want is on the shelves, that is. And fresh food is always of a lower quality and less fresh. I used to be able to shop once a week but now, any vegetables I buy are unusable after a few days. (source: real life ). Meanwhile, food rots in the fields because there is no one to harvest it or sits in lorry queues at ports caused by the extra red tape Brexit has brought about. And higher wages don't mean a thing for those people who worked in jobs which were dependent on exporting to Europe or have been moved to The Republic of Ireland or the continent in order to keep trading. Cos, unemployment rates certainly haven't gone up 16%. Don't worry. I've no illusions about being able to convince you. That's only possible with rational people who actually live in the real world. But it doesn't matter. The proportion of the UK which still supports this disaster is down at 33% and falling as reality catches up. Opposition to it is now at 57% and rising. ( source: https://www.statista.com/statistics/987347/brexit-opinion-poll/ )That's quite a margin. You can whitter on all you like but you're a small and shrinking minority and no one cares.

@remoanersrknts6736 Yes. It's due to a drop in house prices which is due to a drop in demand because everyone is poorer.
