Let's see what Q3 and Q4 bring before we can really start to gauge what is happening. Given the furlough scheme is ending soon, I wouldn't bank on there being too much good economic news for the rest of this year.

    Then we have Brexit at the start of 2021...
    At least Brexit will ride along like a knight in shining armour to save the UK from the moribund EUSSR red tape economy.

So in a situation where you literally shut down all those industries for three months it will unfortunately have an outsize impact on our economy.
        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.
