UK is booming just 7 months before we leave the EU

Iiii will do not let the door hit your arse on the way out.

But don't touch the light switch though we'll manage fine without you.

I'm already out, as they say I'm alright Jack.

good luck

[GammaMadrid]

Very bad news. How will this help get house pries down?

You really won't - too thick you see.

Slowly going delirious

It's a bit like a closing down sale where the shop buzzes with life just before it shuts, basically manufacturers opening the throttle and running the machinery into the ground before they shut it all down.

Rising employment with no accompanying rise in productivity or wages = Companies not investing in plant and machinery and throwing bods into it while they wait for what Brexit brings

Growth of 0.4% between April and June = Add the 0.2% for the 1st quarter and if the second half of the year is similar to the first, projected growth for the year = 1.2%. Terrible.

But we know you're a bit dim, so don't expect you to do numbers or analysis.

So much for the doom and gloom, as we approach leave date we have:

Record employment levels

https://www.ons.gov.uk/employmentand...ch-to-may-2018

The employment rate (the proportion of people aged from 16 to 64 years who were in work) was 75.7%, higher than for a year earlier (74.9%) and the highest since comparable records began in 1971.

The unemployment rate (the number of unemployed people as a proportion of all employed and unemployed people) was 4.2%, down from 4.5% for a year earlier and the joint lowest since 1975.



Lowest rate of house repossessions

https://www.ftadviser.com/mortgages/...-historic-low/

The latest mortgage arrears and possessions update from UK Finance showed 76,740 homeowner mortgages were in arrears of 2.5 per cent or more of the outstanding balance - 8 per cent fewer than the same point last year.

Within the figures for the second quarter of this year, 23,190 mortgages were in arrears representing 10 per cent or more of the outstanding balance and there were 4,440 buy-to-let mortgages in arrears of 2.5 per cent or more - both reductions on last year’s levels.

Possession levels also dropped, with 1,060 homeowner mortgaged properties and 520 buy-to-let mortgaged properties repossessed in the second quarter of this year - down 5 per cent and 24 per cent respectively on the same quarter in 2017.



GDP rising

UK economic growth rebounded in the second quarter as retail sales and construction benefited from a warm weather boost.

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 0.4 per cent between April and June, compared to the first three months of the year.


The news is getting better and better as we approach Freedom Day.

That's good, Brexit will be a success....oh hang on !

Polls show support for a second referendum increasing

[AtW]

How is GDP doing when normalised in dollars?

I reckon 5% drop at a minimum, 20% since the vote, pretty impressive job ******* over the economy

[PurpleGorilla]

Looks pretty good to me:

[meridian]

UK is booming just 7 months before we leave the EU

Employment?

The number of people in employment in the UK is measured by the Labour Force Survey (LFS) and consists of people aged 16 and over who did one hour or more of paid work per week

Repossessions stable since 2015. Would be surprising if they had risen, given the historically low interest rates.

GDP growth of 0.4%? That compares favourably to Q1, how does it compare to the rest of the G7?

Otherwise, it all looks rosy! Makes me wonder why the north of England voted to leave, if we’re doing so well.....

[PurpleGorilla]

Just letting you know that remainers will be a shoulder to cry on when reality hits you after Freedom Day.

Tears of joy.
