The deficit is a fraction of its original size and is now manageable by more traditional means. The economy is not stagnant, but it has slowed as a result of uncertainty over Brexit. When that is over, the economy is expected to bounce back again.
I'm not convinced that a stimulus package would have been the answer in our case. We have had pretty full employment here, and such a package would have required money we did not have, which would have meant more borrowing. Shame that Gordon Brown spent all our gold reserves and left no balances. Same old Labour shambles.

They weren’t asked the question "do you buy the argument that there will be significant damage to the British Economy", and you are being duplicitous to try and rewrite the narrative.
They were asked

for each of the following please say whether you would rather Brexit took place, even if it caused this scenario.

And 61% said it was worth it.
And whilst the deficit has reduced, our debt as a % of GDP has doubled - not so good.
