    But Brexit has not happened yet.....

    This is due to uncertainty. If only the UK had left by now.

      No, it’s due to certainty that Brexit will be bad

        Can I borrow your crystal ball - maybe useful in predicting this weeks lottery numbers.

        Or did you use tea leaves instead?

          If you fail to see the difference between lottery numbers and jumping off a cliff then you are even bigger moron than average `brexit voter

            It's a month on month comparison. That's pretty unreliable as a comparison. 0.4% on a month to month comparison is not really something to shout out about.

            However, if you want to see how one of the less unreliable news outlets spins this take a look at the independent.

              Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                I'm surprised the bretards have not dispelled this one yet, but I guess the right wing press have not told them what to think yet.

                Nothing to see here, a lot of the economy slowed down in anticipation of Brexit last month which failed. When the government sort out what it wants and makes a decision (either way) it will bounce back. The torry Brexit leadership race will now go into full 51st state / low tax haven off Europe mode.
