EU & Brexit Bunker

[PurplePenguin]

I'd imagine the Indian asks off the EU and off the UK would be different in regard to visas for their people.

I have not fact checked this, but I read the EU is being much more generous with visas for Indians.

I imagine that's because they can. It won't attract the same number of immigrants and isnt as politically difficult.
Possibly a UK Brexit benefit

Bespoke trade agreements are a Brexit benefit. Harder trade with the EU is a Brexit cost.

The report finds that the Government’s growth framework – built around restoring stability, increasing investment and reforming the economy – is sensible on paper, but delivery has been uneven. Important progress has been made with new fiscal rules, planning reform and public investment, yet delivery has often been too cautious given the scale of the challenge. The report argues that bolder action is now required in three areas where the growth payoff is largest: trade policy, housing supply and labour-market participation. Without sharper choices and faster progress in these areas, the UK risks remaining stuck in a low-growth equilibrium despite the emerging ‘green shoots’ in the data.

It's a new report, and the data appears not to be shifting to the narrative you might have preferred, but sorry to bore you.

Sorry for being thick, but is the positive % a fall in real terms per capita GDP? If so it needs to go into the bad graphs thread.

True: at the moment it looks like a 'Brexit benefit'.

Here's GDP per capita. Again the US dominating although Italy has done well too.

Surprised Italy is higher than UK. And Canada is so low.

They got more than they wanted (initially Farage, Hannan and co were talking about staying in the Single Market and Customs Union) under a Tory government with an 80-set majority, and yet... now they want a 'proper' one, whatever that means. We knew that as long as Europe is next door, and now coping OK without the UK in it, they'd carry on moaning for all eternity.
