@implausibleblog Move all the people on benefits to Blackpool, then nuke it from orbit...

Is the new Reform Party Ltd policy on that...

[Wolf Stirfry @WolfStirfry]

@DeepHouseBear @statsandthings @TerraOrBust Thats how the worldbank presents the data. Standardises the data. You wouldn't want it in Sterling as it would really highlight the damage of #Brexit

[Wolf Stirfry @WolfStirfry]

@rec777777 @faisalislam @LiamHalligan @reformparty_uk @GBNEWS No it isn't, unless you're using todays prices and celebrating inflation...

Actual trade volume, the boxes shifted, is whats important, and that is down, to the EU, and the rest of the world.

We are currently below 2014 levels for goods...

@rodbishop15 When you enjoyed Britain it was in the EU...

[Wolf Stirfry @WolfStirfry]

@slater09_mike @darrengrimes Indeed, the introduction of VAT on private school fees is only possible now we've left the EU, its a genuine #Brexit benefit...

[Wolf Stirfry @WolfStirfry]

@darrengrimes Here you go, thats the UK trailing France and Germany in GDP PPP and UK GDP flatlining since May 2022...

[Wolf Stirfry @WolfStirfry]

@Jeremy_Hunt You wiped £40 billion from tax take with the stupidity of your #Brexit

[Wolf Stirfry @WolfStirfry]

@PaulEmbery @Jay_Beecher I have never agreed with anything Beecher has said before, but he's right on this.

Melia is an anti-semite, a neo nazi, and a convicted criminal, what first attracted you to him Paul?

@cjsnowdon @peterjukes The £37Bn was the entire test and trace budget, the original app did cost an eye watering £11.5 million before it was scrapped (as the entire tech industry predicted it would be!)...

Given your grasp of numbers I would steer clear of economics if I was you...

[Wolf Stirfry @WolfStirfry]

@julianHjessop PMI is meaningless, here is total volume of exports to the world, goods and services, by CVM...

The downward trend through 2023, with covid well behind us, and Ukraine having minimal UK impact, is telling, and what its telling is not good for the economy.

[Wolf Stirfry @WolfStirfry]

@WhaleNaked @brodjustice @julianHjessop You've picked one commodity, and your own data shows the decline, budget diversion to maintain EU exports leading to a reduction in RoW exports...

You should look at the fish export data, thats down to 2003 levels...

[Wolf Stirfry @WolfStirfry]

@julianHjessop Huge discounting and lower margins might shift the units, but it doesn't make it profitable, or sustainable.

[Wolf Stirfry @WolfStirfry]

@brodjustice @WhaleNaked @julianHjessop Yup, UK goods trade by volume is down to 2013 levels in terms of exports to the EU. You've got a huge decline in lorry traffic at the channel ports and Eurotunnel.

Its a mess, and will only get worse when the UK finally puts its border function into full operation.

[Wolf Stirfry @WolfStirfry]

@Rod__Mason Germany hasn't been in recession,and nor has the Eurozone.

GDP PPP has grown by 2.6% in the EU, its fallen by 1.1% in the UK, we are poorer because of your #Brexit

Our GDP has been stagant since May 2022.

Own your shit...

[Wolf Stirfry @WolfStirfry]

@julianHjessop You should plot PMI against GDP PPP as its a far better indicator, the graph will show even less correlation if you do as GDP PPP has been falling since May 2022...

TLDR: PMI is to GDP what Nicholas Cage is to swimming pool drownings...

[Wolf Stirfry @WolfStirfry]

@WhaleNaked @julianHjessop No, goods exports volume to the EU is way down, well below pre pandemic levels.

[Wolf Stirfry @WolfStirfry]

@tomhfh You might want to read up on Irgun, the Stern Gang, and terrorist attacks agains the British before you go into bat for Israel, after all, you wouldn't want to be called a hypocrite...

[Wolf Stirfry @WolfStirfry]

@kjanthoney @julianHjessop When you've only got 1 peso left, and you find another down the back of the sofa thats 100% growth...

Doesn't mean its a good thing...
