Well you have to remember that a lot of Leavers voted to put an end to the 'global elite' being in charge, a protest vote if you like

More of the same vs rock the tulip.

If you want one chart to explain brexit, it is this one.

Doesn't look too good but you have to remember, this is by experts and the Leave campaign doesn't believe in experts so it's all fake news.

This week it was revealed that the UK economy grew by 0.5% in the final quarter of 2018, and because this was marginally better than the even more woeful prediction of 0.4% the hard-right Daily Express ran a front page story declaring that "the Brexit Boom is here"!

Never mind the fact that 0.5% growth actually makes the UK the second slowest growing economy in the entire developed world, or that the UK is projected to suffer the worst negative wage growth rate anywhere in Europe this year ... Britain is booming, the Daily Express told me so.

Looks indeed like the economy will do well as the UK heads for a Norway style solution.

May mulls paying into the EU budget post Brexit

Brexit U-Turn as MP's consider staying in the customs union

I've come to the conclusion that I was wrong, I thought Switzerland would be closer to where the UK would end up with at least a token distance from the EU, but it's increasingly clear that the UK will in effect be full members of the EU with some changes to the syntax rather than semantics.

BINO is about all this government is capable of delivering.

It's great that you admit there was a brexit hit, but if there hadn't been, the growth would have been even better.

That is the "imagined" hit that exists solely in the heads of morons. Nicely picked up, although I am sure one of the other jellyheads would have done so, once they have stopped their daily window-licking.

I am not convinced the growth would have happened as everyone would have been going on as before and pretending everything is alright.

I think Brexit has focussed peoples minds and we no longer suckle at the saggy teat of the EU

Well well well................

Britain should prepare for a much more economically optimistic 2018 because global growth is better than predicted.

That's the argument of Lord Jim O'Neill, the former Conservative Treasury minister and Remain supporter.

He said Britain's growth forecasts are likely to be upgraded as China, the US and Europe show increased activity.

The gloomy predictions of the possible effects of Brexit are likely to be "dwarfed" by the more positive figures, Lord O'Neill added.

I am pleased there is something. As I am getting fed up with high house prices. When is this mythical economic crash occurring?

Why do we care? That's a Turkish company so it's got nothing to do with British owned businesses.

Indeed and the endless sagas in the newspapers.

The Neverending Story.

We have condemned ourselves to being completely defined by Brexit for the next several years at least, possibly decades
