REMAINERS -there is no recession

Moby

Um no actually. Look at this mans language. Says it all about how these people think about the world. We all have individual flaws whatever our politics granted. This is different, he is expressing his world view. Brexit is being seen more and more to be the pained, inchoate cry of deluded Empire Loyalists who cannot face the reality of a country whose international reputation is diminished, and Mrs May is the unfortunate representation of that truth.

The idea that we will reclaim our position as a thrusting global trader is laughable and all attempts at projecting such an image are rightly scorned.
Our Prime Minister is an embarrassment.

Anything non-factual in those links?
One is reporting David Davis' statements before the EU Select Committee, the other reports Moodys' analysis.

"Anything non-factual in those links?"
Pretty much all of both of them, TBH.
Both are predictions, not fact.

prediction
prɪˈdɪkʃ(ə)n/
noun
noun: prediction; plural noun: predictions
a thing predicted; a forecast.

You do understand the difference between predicting something and "something that is known to have happened or to exist" don't you?

This is so tiring, your 'Games of Forums' thing...
David Davis' statement isn't something that happened?
Moody's release isn't something that happened?
*double yawn*

GERMAN RE-UNIFICATION

“East Germany has over a hundred bilateral international treaties which will all need to be sorted out.”

The task at hand was daunting. Many people at the time argued that such a momentous endeavour — the abolition of one state, its merger with another, the ending of decades of continental conflict — would take many years.

Surely it made sense to phase things over a longer period? Instead, those in the driving seat planned to do it in months. And so they did. In October 1990, less than 12 months after the breaching of the Berlin Wall, the two Germanies united and communist East Germany, treaties and all, was written into the history books,

Who are we merging with and being absorbed and bailed out by again?

Instead, those in the driving seat planned to do it in months. And so they did.

An estimated 1.3 trillion euros have flowed from the former West Germany to the former East Germany over the last 20 years. And the tab is still running. (2010)

Having an originality failure too Mayo, stooping to copy the "game" comment from another thread?
*sigh*

Now since you asked:

the answer I provided is correct.
The only solid fact is that these reports in the links provided earlier are about David Davies and of Moody's; the content is reporting upon predictions and supposition.
They could just for example have said "Mayo forecasts that Brexit will lead to an increase of 15% in UK growth this year"; would that then become factual?

*double yawn* indeed but beware TMJ, although the forum at least may get some peace whilst you search for what that is.

Brits under further strain as wages squeezed again by rising inflation

Inflation in the UK economy has been pushed by the slump in the value of the pound following the EU referendum in June last year.
Rising inflation is squeezing living standards as prices rose faster than wages.

From that link:

Pay – excluding bonuses – grew by 2 per cent in the three months to May, data from the Office for National Statistics showed, a pick-up on the 1.7 per cent increase seen the month before.

Is this the start of wage rises?

"The important thing for us is job churn and we're hopeful that there might be the beginnings of some salary inflation and that will help the job market, which has really been frozen for the better part since 2009," Alan Bannatyne, chief financial officer at recruiter Robert Walters (RWA.L), told Reuters.
