REMAINERS -there is no recession

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)'We don't need to be smarter than the rest; we need to be more disciplined than the rest.' - WB0 -

David Davis' statement isn't something that happened?
Moody's release isn't something that happened?
*double yawn*
*sigh*
Now since you asked:mayonnaise wrote: »Anything non-factual in those links?
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.0 -

Brits under further strain as wages squeezed again by rising inflation
https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/4000145/wage-growth-employment-data-ons-inflation-brexit-pound/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.Don't blame me, I voted Remain.0 -

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.0 -

Unlikely. Wages are paid from profits. Lower productivity means the cake gets cut into thinner slices.0 -

There is a complete inability by some on this forum to grasp reality but as always with many pride comes before a fall.

What's interesting about Brexiteers is their faith. Like Christians, they continue to believe even when science disproves a core tenet. They just discard the old part of the belief and move onto the new dogma, until that is proven wrong.
This week it is ECJ. Can't have ECJ. We need to be an independent country, right?
Except for Euratom. And when Davis rolls over and has his belly scratched and accedes to ECJ oversight of citizens' rights, the Brexiteers will ignore that and move onto the next dogma.
Do you never ask yourselves, Brexiteers, if week after week your strong and stable arguments collapse and the margin for manoeuvre gets smaller and smaller, is this Brexit working at all? Surely you should be angry with May and Davis for not delivering the successful Brexit you were promised, the paradise on earth, the New Jerusalem in England's (soon to be a lot less) green and (unfortunately becoming quite un-)pleasant land?;)0 -
There was never a plan of action, it's quite clear there still isn't and won't ever be.
What little forethought there is seems to revolve around us getting what we want because they can't afford not to give us it.
It is a paradox, the sectarian dimwits fantasising about England being 'strong' are in reality bent on wrecking it.'We don't need to be smarter than the rest; we need to be more disciplined than the rest.' - WB0 -
The government publishes the repeal bill so remainers panic again?A Brexit minister has accused the head of the National Audit Office of using “overdone” language after he said that the government’s approach to leaving the European Union could “fall apart like a chocolate orange”.
If some really want to shout "failure" they could at least wait and see if it does, after all this won't take as long as the entire Brexit process before you can gloat if it does indeed go wrong.0 -
Here is more from the plan that apparently doesn't exist:

Bless the dimwits, it isn't our plan to leave. It's a requirement.
Yet another unintended cost and consequence of the stupidity.'We don't need to be smarter than the rest; we need to be more disciplined than the rest.' - WB0
