I have said it before but all those new blue wall MP's are realising that as this continues they will become a one term MP - Many won with slender majorities and are now acutely aware of that.
While the focus will rightly be on those MPs, especially on here, we shouldn’t underestimate the effect that some of the Government’s decisions are having in comparatively safer constituencies as well. The petrol shortage is still affecting the South and the farming industry was given short shrift in the summer; it also now appears it’ll be given short shrift in the coming months. There might be scant consolation for farmers among some, but they vote and these decisions will affect the wider communities.
 
Would have liked to see Marr respond to his claim that we’re bouncing back the strongest with the fact that our economy had the biggest hit by far so the bounce back had to be the strongest, and also the fact that we’re the only major economy still smaller than pre pandemic.

Probably because that’s drivel.


Several countries have published estimates of GDP for Quarter 2 2021. The UK experienced the largest increase in real GDP of these countries in Quarter 2 2021, in part reflecting the timing of the tightening and easing of public health restrictions in the first half of this year. Of the other countries, Italy and Spain had the next largest volume increases in Quarter 2 2021. However, these two countries are the furthest away from their pre-pandemic levels of GDP. The US is the only economy to have recovered to above pre-pandemic levels (0.8%).

Yes I incorrectly remembered that we were the only major country not to have fully recovered to its pre pandemic GDP. What I should have said we were the furthest away as shown below:

So the fact that we had the largest growth in Q2 was largely due to the fact that we were starting from the lowest point and had the furthest to recover which means that my point was correct even if I incorrectly recalled one of the details.
