‘But days before the start of her premiership, she was told by the economists Gerard Lyons and Julian Jessop that the markets were highly nervous and that she could face a crash if her policy changes were not handled with care.’

Knows what he’s talking about though.

I look forward to reading about his Brexit benefits then, rather than him nit-picking that our economy has only shrunk by 3.9% rather than 4%.

Not exactly that in this case, but that's the sort of thing he posts. In this one he's saying "Mark Carney is wrong - The UK economy hasn't shrunk from 90% of Germany's to 70%, it's gone from 88% to 75%". So he may have a point, but it's a poor one, coming from a "Fellow of the IEA" and self-declared "Brexiteer".

If you’re at home this afternoon, he will deliver lashings of milk and honey directly to your door.

And another one. It’s just an alternative view.

Again, the criticism is of Carney's working out, not a rebuttal or denial that Brexit is harming our economy.

Of course it is. Not as much as some would say though. Other economies in the EU are fairing worse than us. It’s not as straightforward as some would have people believe. Going away for a few days. Enjoy your weekend.👍

If you think Albania’s good, wait until you spend 2 weeks queueing for a dinghy across the English Channel.

Apparently it’s one of the great Albanian pastimes

It's good for a few days break and football, we drive there anyway so no need for a dinghy

Was that not brandwood St? 

Dunno. Pretty sure the school used it for matches when I was a kid in the school team.  1979/81. I definitely played in gravel both seasons. Was horrible.

ACE NPO day. We will receive what we applied for, takes the pressure off. 

How did the people you deal with fare?@Not in Crawley

Only got one client who is directly funded and they got their NPO status.

Sad news about Oldham though, thought they'd be OK.

Donmar's reaction was a bit piqued, and I thought the outgoing chief exec of ENO gave a good interview on the world at one. But the Collie has been moving in that direction and its good for Manchester that they are moving there.

Of the venues I'm currently touring to Blackpool are out celebrating this evening, Stratford seem happy, not spoken to the others today.

Sad to see my old company and friends at the arts marketing association have had their funding cut by 50% but I think that's more to do with the more online operation they run now, not sure though.

Everyone else are commercial producers so it sort of washes past them a bit.

Congrats on getting what you needed.

I guess the issue is that there are plenty of prime, such as Mounts, who will never admit at all that our economy has been harmed by Brexit. Whilst we have people that deny that it has had a detrimental impact thus far, then we're going to struggle to improve things quickly. 

We've left, it's a bit shit, and will be for a while, but we can and will improve things over the coming decades.

I never said it wouldn’t damage the economy I was happy for the reduction in GDP so that we could go in a different direction as a country, more manufacturing, less dependency on the financial markets, removal of any EU jurisdiction, less foreign workers which leads to less unemployment and nowhere for the scroungers to hide.

"Less foreign workers which leads to less unemployment." 

I don't think you can even start to unpick that sort of stupidity.

Have you seen the unemployment figures? Wonder what contributed to them being so low. 🤔
