The figure for July to September was down from the 0.7% growth recorded in the second quarter of 2016 - the months before Britain voted to leave the European Union. Read full article

Hammond, another Remoaner that got it wrong and continues to get it wrong by backing The Canuck and misadvising 'Tits'.

I see that Tit's can't change the spots on her shoes, nor her imbedded Remoaner character: she has backed The Canuck, to “prevent a downturn in the markets”. She doesn't grasp that the markets are run by juvenile headless chickens betting their customers money, not their own, they are not THAT stupid.

She needs to realize that the markets will take advantage of whatever she does. The sensible ones make their money skimming the market. Really experienced dealers keep to the margins, they can't really lose, but they cant make huge killings either.

Inflation is so low and a loss on banking accounts ensures retired people can't make money putting the whole economy in risk of joining Japan. I bet very few on here remember when that happened. I hope you don't find out. Japan is still in the shitter.

I see Blaire is moaning again, the same man who ignored millions over the war in Iraq and WMD, now also wants to defy the result,

We aint doing that bad, and it may well get a bit worse before it gets better,
but having certain politicians defying the result does not help future investors,

More confidence in the ability of the British to overcome , adapt and move on will help,
Nothing will happen for at least two more years till things are agreed and sorted out,

No matter how bad it gets for the UK, our economy will always be a dream scenario for all of Latam. We will come through the storm and hold our heads up high as we always do, free, sovereign and independent.

I voted leave but am coming to the conclusion that we will stay in the EU.
Extremely disappointed and not a little angry at the way the will of the English people is being frustrated by a motley collection of Socialists, Nationalists and Bankers.
