World-beating Tory economy

[Old Greg]

I don't think anyone would expect anything other than a sharp contraction in the economy in the last quarter. They key thing here (and it is only one quarter's data) is that the performance appears so much worse than our main competitors. Let's see what Q3 and Q4 bring before we can really start to gauge what is happening. Given the furlough scheme is ending soon, I wouldn't bank on there being too much good economic news for the rest of this year.

Then we have Brexit at the start of 2021...

At least Brexit will ride along like a knight in shining armour to save the UK from the moribund EUSSR red tape economy.

The Tories have messed the economy up big-time.

You ain't seen nothing yet.

Really...

The primary explanation is the composition of our economy. Social activities — for example going out for meal, or going to the cinema, shopping, those kind of things — comprise a much bigger part of our economy than other European countries. So in a situation where you literally shut down all those industries for three months it will unfortunately have an outsize impact on our economy.
