Not sure how they can publish full July figures that quickly.

Remember Stats are just that.

Not fully as there is only 85% but it gives them a good idea from those 6oo firms. Ask another 600 firms and you would get a different answer.

It has never been denied even by us leavers there will be a mini recession. The then Chancellor said 2 quarters and that sounds about right. However, he also said it would be immediate which is bunkum. Yes he did and his argument was why plunge ourselves deliberately into a mini recession?

The point is that it's not going to be the doom and gloom predicted. They're not investing because it's a bad thing, they are waiting to see how things go with the talks. The delay of A50 is going to cause more uncertainty and may even push any recession into 3 or even 4 quarters. That's not the fault of we who voted leave, its the fault of not invoking A50 when Cameron himself said he'd do it straight away.

That's not how polling works - a representative cross-section are polled, not just random companies...

Re: Post-Brexit Thread

The easiest way to get a representative cross-section is to ask random companies. If this isn't representative you just add more random samples.

Believe that if you like. They asked all the companies directly effected by leaving the EU I bet.

To get the result they want. You can do a lot with stats if you ask the right people and questions.

Well that's all right then. God's in His Heaven and all is well. Are we still going to get this recession or not?

Hat tip to Carl...

They are only cutting these figures because of uncertainty. What they don't realise is when we grow more than they say, we will look good and it will only prove voting leave was the right thing to do.
