Average weekly earnings excluding bonuses rose 2.3% over the same period. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/aug/17/uk-unemployment-claimant-count-falls-after-brexit

Digging down into the detail. "Construction workers received the biggest pay rise with wages up an average of 8.4pc in the past year." Amazing given that construction would appear to be in recession.

I saw a group is about to publish a proper account of all the Remain lies and untruths to put pay to the nonsense liberal establishment ruse that only Leave lied. Look out for the report shortly.

What lies?
I remember the remain camp making forecasts on economic growth, pensions, wages, unemployment, etc....post-brexit, but as the jury is still out on this, how can they be branded as lies?

One key Brexit arguement was that free movement of labour was holiding down wages particuarly at the low end of the pay scale. I suspect even though free movement remains volumes may already have fallen and that we may see a response in earnings - although dientangling this from the minimum wage increases may be difficult.

UK could win 'special status' but must get on with Brexit - Germany.


Germany's European Affairs Minister on Tuesday held out the possibility of Britain achieving "special status" in its relationship with the European Union but pressed London to get on with starting talks on leaving the bloc early next year.

Let us all recognise a negotiating strategy when we see one.
