   So your saying half million extra migrants people in one year to uk brings only 0.1% GDP . So the only postive benfit thing of mass migration to uk is pathetic GDP growth and really shows mass migration brings rubbish.

   Of course it only grew by 0.1%, thanks to your Brexit. The worst in the G7 and worse than some 3rd world countries thanks to failed tory rule and baked in Brexit failure.

   Economy grew 0.1%, and population probably grew 0.3-0.5%. In short, GDP per capita is down!

   Growing economy lowers living standards for the poor courses up rise in migration for employerment, a economy being smaller and shrinking is good as means people value life standards over growth of the rich people wealth plus it show you supporting local growth on poor people life then handing all the dolllar you have to foreigners. Economy growth would be good if small business was not force to close and if we didn't have migrated theft.

    Kelvin MacKenzie the former editor of The Sun appeared on Jacob Rees-Mogg's GB News show where they discussed the Tory government's plan to not drop 4000 EU laws both were raging how this has let down those who voted leave and how this "Brexit" isn't what people voted for. Forgive me I never heard anything about us repealing over 6000 rules that the UK actually voted on and accepted ( 98% in favour of ) I do recall £350 million a week for the NHS, abolishing VAT on fuel, Fantastic new trade deals, Cheaper food and items, Safe secure borders, No Irish Sea Border, an Oven ready deal with no need for further negotiations, Sunny days form day one, the End of Foreigner workers here. So if Reece Mogg, Mac Kenzie, Truss and their ilk and the " Little Englanders" never got the Brexit they thought they would get, who did ? How many of those who voted to leave ( I did ) would have voted if the ground rules had been laid out, so we have had so much pain for so little gain, sorry, I forgot, all our woes despite so many think tanks, CEo's, CBI, B of E etc etc are down to Covid and Putin..

    The economy is worth £2,560 billion.
    0.1% is £2,560 million.
    Or £50 per adult in just three months.

    Brexstremists need to get over it and stop living in the past. Brexit is done, it's a total failure and it's time to build a new relationship with the EU and take the UK economy off life support.

    At some point you have to ask, who is the anti growth coalition?
    Net zero labour and the guy in the street who needs a pay rise to not default on their rent or mortgage.
    Or
    The idiots in government that delivered the most damaging brexit. A brexit where nobody really understand what they got only this isnt the flavor they expected.
    The likes of rees moggy who supoorted a budget that crashed the economy and is currently trying to sherd regulation that businesses rely on to functions.

    Shredding these laws might be good, if business know and understand what is coming to replace them. Otherwise ot will crash the economy too. Why?! No one will do business with a country that cant tell you the rules of business.

    Its very simple retards noone plays darts with someone who makes up the rules as they play.

    Growth is growth. If 0.1 growth is low, a 0.3% retraction in March is also low. No recession unlike many other European countries.

    This 0.1% growth will look like a lottery win, if the financial markets crash in America, which is being predicted.
    U.S. debt in 2017 stood at just less than $20 trillion. Today it's more than $31 trillion, and by the end of this month, America may not have enough money to pay it's debts, which will send a shock wave around the world, possibly bigger than the 2008 crisis. Unless the U.S. is able to increase it's debt ceiling, which in itself is problematic, to put it bluntly, we are all f*cked.

    Really, lol, what a load of nonsense.
    You don't need to an economist to see we're heading for the biggest crash ever. Lockdown's immeasurably destroying our economy, Decades Neo Liberal policies, deregulation,, privatisation in hyper mode, having a financialised economy instead of one of Manufacturing and production one, printing endless worthless fiat currency, to over the cracks of the bank heist of 2008. Now the global warming nonsense, the green energy insanity, net 0, leaving no-one with disposal income, sheer insanity, but it's all part of the WEF Davos globalist agenda.

    Get rid of 25% corporation tax, get rid of EU laws that hold us back and reduce income tax. It's called conservatism!!!!! Get rid of the electoral rejects in 10 and 11 quickly followed by Andrew Bailey.
