Second, I've said the same. -
The Burnham Years - Can the new(ish) broom sweep clean?

Then it’s been debunked. We actually grew in GDP terms over 1% more than Germany since Brexit, those figures suggest we would have grown over 7-9% more than Germany had we stayed, it’s nonsense. I don’t believe there was ever a BoE report suggesting this. Post Brexit investment did drop which was unsurprising given the uncertainty but has recovered to overtake the EU. To suggest we’d be £100bn per annum better off is also nonsense, so much so, you should put it on the side of a bus. I voted to remain (I had a vote in those days), mainly because I could see protracted uncertainty which would be damaging, but we are over that now. I don’t see much benefit in rejoining. Rant over, time for bed!🛌 -

This is the 6-8% additional GDP we would have had if we had stayed in EU, correct? -

What 6-8%? -
......erm, yes you can

Even though the 'Palestinians' have rejected it on several occasions?

It would be a vote for a proper ‘genocide’.

Zionism, apparently.

I dunno, the look on his face when someone brushed his arm was as if Vinny Jones had entered the room.

As have I, thanks . Gone are the days of only getting a statement every six months, I look at my app every morning. As you say, great when it's going up. -

I think you might have got away with it but for that last sentance. -
I've got an Apple watch, I find it very useful for telling me the time. I gave up wearing a conventional watch years ago, just felt uncomfortable on my wrist. The Mrs had an Apple watch and raved about it so I got one. Have to say it feels odd now when I'm not wearing it, which has been the case all of this week as it went back for a replacement battery. Really useful playing golf where it can tell you the yardage to the hole from wherever you are, which for me is normally in the trees.

A very reasoned and articulate post from you Whelk although I am a little disappointed you were unable to slip the word ‘cunt’ in there.🙃 -

Asian markets, falling oil prices and bond yields. I do have to apolgise though as I read your earlier post as suggesting that Burnham's comments on the EU had an impact on share prices, I don't think you did suggest that. -

Agree on this. Far better than Starmer in that regard. I admire his commitment to social care although a little wary on having something similar to the NHS. I hope he does well too. -

It is. It opened higher due to other factors, before the growth figures were announced, welcome though they are.
