Very good news: growth momentum, far from slowing, strengthened into the second half of this year - British firms are investing and growing:
- GDP grew 0.7% in the 3rd quarter
- GDP/capita also grew 0.7%
- Business investment is up 3% on the year
- UK export volumes are up 5%

Irrelevant to my point.
As the time of that debate in the commons, he she asked about oil. He replied about gas.
Quite simple.
You try insult my intelligence because I vote @reformparty_uk. I dont mind, it shows low IQ.
I have a business that employs over 60 people. My business turns over 6.5m annually.
I promise you, that’s considerably more than what you’ll ever achieve & quality’s me to comment on tax policy, NI policy, business growth policy & much more.
Don’t forget to set the alarm for the morning, you’re public sector job needs you 🤣👍🏽
“Are Hamas a Terrorist Group?” — Inside the Heated Debate Where Jeremy Corbyn Kept Avoiding the Piers Morgan’s Question.
Piers Morgan: Should Hamas stay in power? This country says they're a terror group. Do you agree and should they stay in power?
Jeremy Corbyn: Listen, I do not approve, support, or welcome Hamas.
Piers Morgan: Are they a terror group? Everybody knows what they are. Are they a terror group?
Jeremy Corbyn: Why can't you go through what ought to be happening? Why do you think people in the world are calling for a ceasefire?
Piers Morgan: No. It's my show, you answer my question. Are Hamas a terror group?
Jeremy Corbyn: Why you shout at people all the time... You deliberately not answered my question. Piers, I've explained to you how to get rid of Hamas.
Piers Morgan: You're refusing to answer either of them. That is very telling. And you wonder why people think you had a problem with Jewish people, right?
Jeremy Corbyn: Oh, of course they're a terror group.
Piers Morgan: Why can't you say that? Well, hang on, hang on. You've answered it. But should they stay in power? Do you believe they should?
Jeremy Corbyn: They won't be in power.
Piers Morgan: But do you believe they should?
Jeremy Corbyn: They won't, no, I don't believe.
