Relationship with the EU. our biggest trading partner accounting for 45% of our exports is in tatters.

Boris has 'changed his mind' about allowing any Chinese involvement in 5g according to todays papers and will reverse his original decision. (as ordered by Trump?)

And that mentally unstable clown in the White House is provoking trouble all over the place.Race riots at home now.

And the economic fallout from the pandemic will be serious.

We are heading for a collapsed economy and social unrest.

No doubt "upgrading the country’s creaking infrastructure" means the ridiculous white elephant HS2.

MM2 - "These are the people that will give us a second wave."

Yup, and folk will blame the government..

The only people to blame for any contagion since the lockdown are the people themselves.

In england it tends to be the Brexiteers with the wealth. Weve found out two PM's who have failed to deliver on Brexit.Dont for a moment think Brexiteers are disengaged & on benefits.

If the AfD party get into power in Germany then it's all over for the EU anyway.
The German voters just might have had enough of Merkle at the next election and vote for a big change. I hope!
Plus the Italian and Spanish have had enough as well. Macron is also on shaky ground so all in all the EU is not looking good.

"Doom and gloom buywell with no ideas".

Says the suggestion resistant poster. He was probably still fitting lead pipes in his plumbing business for all drinking water.

#797. Typical rubbish. Better to look closer to home.

Wrong type of leaves on the way.

alan turner31 May 2020 4:59AMIt is textbook Keynesian stimulus. This keeps companies going, household costs drop as mortgage costs and lending costs drop. Companies employ more people. Economic expansion results.In addition sensible government infastructure and other spending on research and development would be welcome when borrowing costs are so low. Indeed if you can borrow for 30 years at 1-2% why not borrow £200billion turn it into a sovereign wealth fund and invest it in FTSE 350 and S&P500 and get a 4-7% per annum return over 30 years.4LikeReplyPaul Kingsley31 May 2020 7:17AM@alan turner What could possibly go wrong? Should I mortgage my house and invest it in a FTSE tracker?1LikeReplyGareth Davies31 May 2020 7:51AM@alan turner Sensible government spending - er oxymoron alert or "let's waste other people's money on ourselves and our mates." I'm afraid I'm old enough to remember Keynsesian stimulae and the 70's - an episode with a very unhappy ending.

George Faulkner31 May 2020 8:21AM"The UK stock market has lately been rather buoyant. ".....not quite as buoyant as it was 20 years ago. The UK economy has actually gone backwards. That's why investors have moved their money elsewhere.

797 - who could possibly devise more of a dog's dinner than that! Typical Brussels job creation scheme.
