Hmm, once the boat was underway and the office opened the rate wasn't so good. Looks like they play the figures over a far wider spread than I anticipated depending on the direction of travel.
Think what you like, but the pro-Brexit side were pointing a very big finger at the relative growth rates of the UK and the EU and pointing out how the UK was outperforming Germany and the like. Claims were being made for significant wage growth in an economy pulling out of the 2008 recession. But given that a very large section of the workforce (public sector) were held to zero or below inflation wages rises over a period of 7+ years something was clearly not stacking up for anyone that thought about it.
Given that the reported figures in the article you link to relate to a period before Brexit, is your use of the figures any more valid if you're maintaining the thread must relates to post-Brexit recovery?
I don’t know what you mean, there were at least 5 days of post brexit stats in those figures!!
But you didn’t expect any economic literacy from the brexit camp did you?
