The OBR did the work. I am merely the messenger.
And it amuses the fuck out of me to point out you voted to screw the economy while you babble on about the state of the economy. It’s my happy place.
Well the OBR forecasted a long term 15% reduction in trade intensity within the G7 rather than 15% drag on growth. The here and now is the OBRs assessment of the budget - ie an increase in £350bn going in to the system to get less growth than before.
I’d vote for Brexit again tomorrow - my reasoning is well documented. You might say that the government investing in public services is right and accept that will cost us returns on growth and be happy to vote for Labour again on the basis of increased public spending for decreased growth. Funny really that our arguments for harm on growth in return for a protected/better public service are likely so closely aligned yet it amuses you as it’s only morally right when it’s something you agree with - which isn’t really a surprise as we all agree with ourselves!!
