the economy.

Bump.
Do we all agree now it IS in the shit?
IMF downgrading growth forecasts substantially and not ruling out a recession.
Shame Red Ed didn't get in. We would have had nice Tory lite austerity cuts and still been in the EU without all the uncertainty/risk that brexit has brought.
For all their talk on financial competence the Tories have car crashed the economy by gambling the country's future in order to gain electoral advantage and resolve their internal party difficulties.
Same old Tories.

I'm hammered at work. even now people are spending. believe what you like the truth is there for all to see.

Indeed it is
It's ironic a champagne socialist looking to what the IMF has to say regarding our economy, it's not like they were way off beam with our growth figures when you started the thread and then they had to apologise and say that austerity had worked when they thought it wouldn't. It's guess work for the IMF, I'm surprised people don't just take it with a pinch of salt.

Serious people certainly do.

Would that be the same IMF who welcomed austerity in Greece then said it was too harsh and had damaged them?

People might well be spending but I'll wager the vast majority of what's being spent is on credit in one of it's many and varied forms. Rather than people spending real money that they've actually earned and saved.

That's been going on for decades now, I must be the only person I know that doesn't have a credit card

If not the IMF how about none other than the new Chancellor who has described the 'shock' and 'chilling effect ' of Brexit on the economy and warned of the risks of businesses 'pausing investment decisions ' whilst of course reminding us of what a great job Gideon did but that we are now in a 'new phase' ( i.e. a cock up of their own making).

Lefty takes side of those they usually berate if it helps their agenda shocker

Tomorrow Corbyn gives a hedge fund manager a wrap around

 

[Len Rum]

Righty in straw man not addressing the issues shocker.

How about yesterday someone bemoaning the fact the pound had fallen making it easier for ARM to be bought out by a Japenese company when the CEO of the company said they made a swift move as it was getting more expensive to buy, not less.
Some people ought to not comment on things they no little of.
