    Business investment in UK enters worst period since financial crisis

    Britain has entered its worst period for business investment since the global financial crisis amid concern that crashing out of the EU will trigger lasting damage for the economy, according to a Guardian analysis of economic news over the past month.

    Against a backdrop of heightened uncertainty as Theresa May struggles to secure support for her Brexit plan in parliament, figures published this month reveal that corporate spending on machinery, buildings and research has fallen in three consecutive quarters. That has not happened since the last recession almost a decade ago.

    The CBI has blamed uncertainty over Brexit for investment “flooding out” of Britain.

    Nothing to do with Brexit, eh?

    I can see where you are going wrong here. The Grauniad put the anal into analysis.

        A masterly refutation, with all sources cited and verified.

            Live the dream

            Brexiteers knew investment would fall as we moved towards global marginalisation. They knew jobs would become more difficult to get. They knew the tsunami of Indians would push them from comfy IT roles into picking brussel sprouts in the badlands of East Anglia. They are not morons. They are not cretins. They realised it would be better if we all pulled together and built a better future for ourselves and our sons.

            Stop being so materialistic. Who needs a well paying job when you've got sovereignty?

              Which countries is it 'flooding' into?

                Why don’t you look it up and tell us?

                Present your own research and opinions, instead of waiting for someone else to do the work while you sit back and criticise.

                  I believe in a Schrodinger’s Brexit.

                    Why?

                    Until you prove that investment is flooding out of the UK and into the EU as a direct result of Brexit then this does not belong in the Brexit sub forum.

                    Once again we see scaremongering based on opinion and supposition.
