I'm surprised the bretards have not dispelled this one yet, but I guess the right wing press have not told them what to think yet.

Nothing to see here, a lot of the economy slowed down in anticipation of Brexit last month which failed. When the government sort out what it wants and makes a decision (either way) it will bounce back. The torry Brexit leadership race will now go into full 51st state / low tax haven off Europe mode.

It's a month on month comparison. That's pretty unreliable as a comparison. 0.4% on a month to month comparison is not really something to shout out about.

However, if you want to see how one of the less unreliable news outlets spins this take a look at the independent.

No, it’s due to certainty that Brexit will be bad

Can I borrow your crystal ball - maybe useful in predicting this weeks lottery numbers.

Or did you use tea leaves instead?

But Brexit has not happened yet.....

This is due to uncertainty. If only the UK had left by now.
