  You lot just don't get how much damage your belittling behavior and insults have done to your cause right from the moment the referendum result was announced.

It's not my fault for pushing for Johnson's Tory Hard Brexit - its all your fault for being nasty to me - even if what you said would happen is now begining to happen...

The arrogance of the lesser brained fascist - who doesnt believe individuals can think independently yet come up with the same conclusions - because they need to be told by some berk on a Rupert Murdoch radio station what to do and think...

Easing of visa restrictions for students and workers is not remotely like freedom of movement. It could mean a reduction of visa restrictions for certain occupations or further education subjects for example. It all seems positive to me, but then again I’m not determined to seek a negative angle in every news story.

We'll see. Meanwhile, here's another piece of good news, a way to solve the ROI/NI border issue.  And there are lots of people commenting and agreeing it's the way to solve it too.

Certainly - but in the face of the worst recession not suprising and to be hoped for. Still:

'New orders rose at the fastest pace since November 2013, and two-thirds of businesses expect production to be higher in a year’s time.

But the index was also lifted by lengthening delivery times and rising costs of raw materials - factors which sometimes indicate an imminent pick-up but which are currently hampering growth.

“The sector remained beset by supply-chain delays and input shortages ... which contributed to increased purchasing costs and record selling price inflation,” IHS Markit said.

Price pressures are on the radar of the Bank of England as it finalises new forecasts and policy decisions ahead of their release on Thursday, though the central bank is likely to look through price rises caused by short-term disruptions.

A narrower measure of manufacturing output alone showed weaker growth than the broader activity index. Output grew faster in August when many manufacturers had not long reopened after Britain’s first lockdown.

Britain’s economy shrank by almost 10% last year - the biggest fall in output in more than 300 years - and even with rapid growth this year it may take until 2022 for it to regain its pre-crisis size, a slower rebound than the United States.

Happy to be corrected Wilts but aren't you a Labour activist? Thought your role would be to try and steer ppl to voting Labour but all you do is antagonise. You're currently a great advocate for any other party

  Probably the same place that has reported a double dip  for the EU. Probably why the French  are threatening to cut the electricity supply to Jersey, by the way would that count as against your human rights.

[SydneyRover]

Here are some trade figures for India-EU

''The EU is India's largest trading partner, accounting for €80 billion worth of trade in goods in 2019 or 11.1% of total Indian trade, on par with the USA and ahead of China (10.7%)''

https://ec.europa.eu/trade/policy/countries-and-regions/countries/india/#:~:text=Trade%20picture,the%20total)%20after%20the%20USA.

[selby]

Would those figures include any trade we did with India and China at that time Syd?

[SydneyRover]

No selby the trade figures for China would NOT be included in the figures for India-EU

[selby]

  Would the trade we did with India and China have been shown and included  in the 11.1 % and the 10.7 % and the 11.1% with the USA you quote for 2019. I think they would be so are going to take a hit.
   Probably part of the double dip recession reported.

Bizarre how these alternative facts get bandied round. According to ONS data, manufacturing output didn't grow at all in December and shrank by 1.8% in January. By March, which as far as I can see is the last official ONS data, it was still 3% down on Feb 2020.

But yeah, believe your alternative facts if you want.

[selby]

  Syd, not only are you on the hook again but you are wriggling. You well know that all three percentage figures for all three countries include the figures of the trade between the UK and all three as we were still members in 2019.
