UK GDP up 15.5%By JOHNREDWOOD | Published: NOVEMBER 14, 2020The third quarter figures for UK growth were a record – up 15.5%. So far so good.That was not nearly enough. It was the direct result of the large collapse the previous quarter under lockdown, and the efforts of the Treasury to get the housing market moving with a Stamp Duty cut and the restaurant trade working with generous special incentives.If we look at the IMF forecasts for 2020 growth around the world we see a much better outlook for the USA, at minus 3.5% for the whole year, compared to the main European countries clustered either side of 10% down for the year. Their forecasts are not going to be that wide of the mark, looking at the latest third quarter figures. They see Spain down 12.8%, Italy 10.6%, France and the UK both down 9.8% and Germany down 6%. All but Germany have been very badly damaged by the virus and by the economic measures taken to counter it.So why has the USA done so much better? After all its own virus death rate is similar to the UK's and considerably higher than Germany's. Large parts of the USA escaped full lock down, which helped. More importantly the Fed put in a much bigger boost than the Bank of England or the ECB which helped a lot. The US has many more of the large and successful tec corporations which boomed on the back of us all moving to an on line world for so many things. Old shops in Europe closed temporarily or permanently whilst people went shopping with Amazon.The UK government needs to learn from the US experience. President Trump's tax cuts helped. The deregulations helped. The technology clusters helped. Above all a very responsive Central Bank that promised to do whatever it needed to save the US economy and the world turned things round from their decisive interventions at the end of March.

?John Redwood@johnredwood·2hDisappointing to hear from the talks the EU still wants the U.K. to be a colony. Good news that the U.K. is not making any concessions. We have to repeat we intend to leave the single market and customs union to be independent, in control of our own laws, money and fish.

Sleeping Joe, Biden beat (really?) Hillary's popular vote 78,072,070 and... still counting. Trump the "liar and most unpopular" president gets even more votes, actually 7 million more than 4 years ago .. 72,721,120and still counting. Something is not right... what that can be. Lol................

An escalation of hostilities with Europe should be encouraged it only accentuates the narrative.

Thanks for the education. Not so sure about your first point though. From what I see most of the wokey liberals are either older middle class retirees or unemployed anarchists all dependant on the hand they are biting. Wont be many of them running their own business or making their own living. Its not their style. Capitalism isnt their thing - apart from benefits/pensions

You are not filtered for your entertainment value.

Now that this disinformation campaign has done its job — allowing Biden to get past the election without having to answer any real questions about those emails and his family’s work in Ukraine and China — the truth has emerged that there is not, and never was, any evidence for the disinformation that these materials came from the Kremlin. Some media outlets, though not all, have at least had the integrity to admit this, now that it no longer matters.

“Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe said Monday that recently published emails purporting to document the business dealings of Hunter Biden are not connected to a Russian disinformation effort,” USA Today acknowledged. "Hunter Biden's laptop is not part of some Russian disinformation campaign," Ratcliffe added.

On October 20, the FBI sent a letter to Sen. Ron Johnson — in response to his request for any information showing Kremlin involvement in the New York Post story — in which they, too, made clear they were not aware of any such evidence:

Finally called North Carolina I see....10 days after the actual vote and Trump has been well ahead from the off - and 99% of the count was complete 4 daysa go - and Trump was well ahead. What a farce.

Florida, larger populace, managed to count all votes well within time limit.

There is a concerted attempt at stealing an election, the repercussions of which are now obvious.

Biden has told Boris to acquiesce to EU's demands so we wont be getting proper Brexit.

Time to stand up and be counted for many now for fascism is coming to Europe and the UK,and the world.
