The number of tourists to the UK reached record levels last year, with a reported 37.5 million visitors.
Data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) showed that the number of visitors rose 4% compared to 2015.
The final three months of the year saw an 8% surge in visitors with numbers breaking the 37 million mark for the first time.
London pulled in more overnight visitors than any other town or city, with a figure of 19.1 million.
Some £22.5bn was spent on visits to the UK last year, up 2% from 2015. American tourists spent the more than residents from any other country, a total of 3.4bn up 11% on the previous year.

Non-EU exports from the UK reach the second highest level on record, it seems:

The rising confidence among exporters confirms findings from the Bank of England, which this week said its agents are reporting a “marked rise in export volume growth”. A pick-up in global growth is also expected to benefit firms selling abroad.

Also an interesting read from Capx - "Why won't the EU let us make the most of Brexit?"

The specific point being made is that the UK should not be get “unfair competitive advantages” by lowering social and environmental standards or taxes.
Which is all interesting, don’t you think? For if, say, a lower corporation tax rate provides a competitive advantage then a higher one must be making the people poorer by hobbling industry. No, really, this must be the case.

You really suffer from delusions on this topic - there is no upside to the UK from leaving - not a single possible outcome where we are better off out than in.

Britain will be severely diminished economically outside the EU - .

Delusion is all yours, based around fears over the small proportion of our total economy that is concerned with the EU trade (about 8% from memory) , and in any event net trade wont go down for obvious reasons

They seem to view the UK as a weak petitioner sitting there on a tide of indifference just waiting for 'inevitable' bad stuff to happen to us, that we have no capacity to adapt, innovate, react and shape a new and better reality.


That is pessimism 101


PS - did you see on the leaders debate and QT that they are still asking where the £350m per week is even though we have not left yet. Barmy

will it be by mid 2019 though?
It is a fair question to ask given it was in big bold fonts across the country.

Can you point me to the paragraph in the Manifesto which explains where the £350m a week will go to the NHS after we leave.

I get the bit about £8b over 5 years which is about £30m a week, but cannot find the other £320m.

I will .................... if first you can show me where the money will come from to meet Labour's manifesto promises?


(That's also a hint as to where the 320m will probably go, BTW.)

Given you like honesty, how would you answer this if you were Mrs May, given she has no definite way of knowing how the EU will play ball and the effect on timescale|?


Surely the only logical response is that WE will have control of that money once we leave?
