"The GDP figures were not quite as bad as we had feared in quarter four. The stagnation in GDP beat our forecast of a 0.1% quarter-on-quarter fall." Rob Kent-Smith, the ONS's head of GDP, said:"There was no growth in the last quarter of 2019 as increases in the services and construction sectors were offset by another poor showing from manufacturing, particularly the motor industry."

Selective reporting. Use context. Sigh

So three months of negative manufacturing growth. Wouldn’t that make it a recession as far the manufacturing sector is concerned.....

eziomauro 🤣🤣🤣 si faccia un giro Londra e dintorni prima di scrivere stupidaggini!

A sign of the times ahead...

Better than a negative

eziomauro GODO!

Hm.

But still better than France, Germany and the Euro area over the last year... so the question should be.... was the UK propping up EU economic performance? Despite Brexit uncertainty, the answer must be yes.

and Post Brexit red tape and tariffs ? well done Wrexham !!!!

Out of interest, how did the major EU economies do?

Way to to England. Farage and Boris really did you well. Brexit. A complete success for the UK. Making you stronger financially in Europe. 🙄

The latest UK GDP figures in context. Growth between Q4 2018 and Q4 2019: US +2.3% Canada +1.7% (Q3) Japan +1.7% (Q3) UK +1.1% Eurozone +1% France +0.8% Germany 0.5% (Q3) Italy 0.0%

Surely not. According to Liar-Johnson we have a very very strong booming economy and lowest unemployment since records began!

Report on France

It's been an up-and-down year for the UK economy.

Dither and delay. Had a huge impact on the economy. Lefties will blame Brexit and Boris.
