It's pretty obvious that that the service sector could be expected to do well over Christmas and the New Year holidays, and that services sold outside sterling will benefit from the weak pound. To extrapolate that to the performance of the whole economy is stupid and devious, especially as over the past six months nothing much else has happened. But as Brexit bites be very sure that the bad effects will come...
The service sector dominates the UK economy, contributing around 78% of GDP |

So nobody said anything re negative impacts re the economy once we voted to leave?
I'm not aware of anyone on the remain side who said UK exports would suffer while you were still in the single market. If you know of such, post a link to it. |

Indeed, the whole economy seems to be doing quite well.
Well the leading remain campaigners did promise us an immediate emergency budget to cover the tax losses from the utter collapse of the economy which would happen straight after the referendum vote. |

My post was very clearly worded, so why don't you just respond to it instead of trying to re-word it to suit your own pov.

The emergency budget, immediately vetoed by senior Tories, was to offset the damage predicted by the NIESR for after we left.

You should have posted a link - but of course that would show you were making stuff up.

"Mr Cameron said "nobody wants to have an emergency Budget, nobody wants to have cuts in public services, nobody wants to have tax increases," but he said the economic "crisis" that would follow a vote to leave could not be ignored." They aren't talking about 2 years time after we have left the EU, the economic armageddon would start immidiately after a vote to leave. |

Maybe it would be wise if you read your own links before posting.
"George Osborne, together with the former Labour Chancellor Alistair Darling, vows today that the hit to the economy would be so great if we vote to leave the EU that he'd hold a Budget with cuts and tax rises almost immediately."

They aren't talking about 2 years time after we have left the EU, the economic armageddon would start immidiately after a vote to leave. He just wanted to prepare and not to have to abandon his deficit target. The vetoing of the emergency budget meant that the deficit target was abandoned immediately after the vote. |
