It seems to me that you want this country to fail and don’t appreciate anything that seems to indicate we are going in the right direction. Well, I think you should be prepared to be disappointed.

OB you know it's a sleight of hand that if inflation is running at 10%+ for consecutive years to use a straightforward figure as a 'record' of anything is fundamentally misleading.
Once again I ask what year did the UK have - in real terms - the highest levels of exports and when (in the future) do we expect to reach that performance?
It's only by engaging with facts, and the truth, that you will reach any meaningful conclusions.
I've no interest in this country failing - indeed my input to this forum (while extremely valuable) has no meaningful impact at all. I'd be the first to acknowledge genuine record figures of anything positive so long as they were adequately inflation adjusted.
And of course purchasing power, if it's about money in the pockets of the hard working man on the street.
However any claims at offering insight that take account of neither are merely political spin however way you cut it.
