    You say very little that isn't abuse on anything other than your fixation on the economy, and calling any perceived change a sign of doom and associating it with brexit.

    Remain really wasn't an option, as had we voted to remain, the EU would most likely have changed, partly on the strength of it. That's not arrogant.

    The UK economy advanced 0.5 percent on quarter in the three months to September of 2016, slowing from a 0.7 percent expansion in the previous period but better than market expectations of 0.3 percent, preliminary estimates showed. It is the first GDP figure covering a full quarter following the EU referendum, suggesting growth continues to be broadly unaffected following the EU referendum with a strong performance in the services industries offsetting falls in manufacturing and construction. GDP Growth Rate in the United Kingdom averaged 0.61 percent from 1955 until 2016, reaching an all time high of 5 percent in the first quarter of 1973 and a record low of -2.70 percent in the first quarter of 1974. GDP Growth Rate in the United Kingdom is reported by the Office for National Statistics.

    British consumer prices rose 0.9 percent in the year to October 2016, compared with a 1 percent growth in the year to September and below market expectations of 1.1 percent gain. Prices for motor fuels, housing and furniture increased while cost of clothing fell. The core index which excludes prices of energy, food, alcohol and tobacco advanced 1.2 percent on the year, the smallest gain since May. On a monthly basis, consumer prices edged up 0.1 percent, following a 0.2 percent growth in September and missing market consensus of 0.3 percent rise. Inflation Rate in the United Kingdom averaged 2.59 percent from 1989 until 2016, reaching an all time high of 8.50 percent in April of 1991 and a record low of -0.10 percent in April of 2015. Inflation Rate in the United Kingdom is reported by the Office for National Statistics.

    Very interesting!..<doh>

    Inflation figure for May was 0.3% so, it's clearly climbed!..

    Growth for the first quarter was 0.7%. For the second quarter 0.5% a decline!..

    In the context of the longer trends, and your claims, they're relatively minor, less than predicted and associated with a number of things, not just brexit.

    Meaningless Bullshit...

    I, once again, stick by what I've said.

    Inflation will remain at these higher levels, and will most likely rise further.

    Growth and investment will continue to decline...

    Marvelous, in your view, financial bods a full of meaningless bullshit. I'm not a big fan of them myself either.

    We agree, I'm sure it will change again one day too, and perhaps brexit will contribute to an element of it.

    It's not as though the economy has been a straight line before it.

    But, the economy is affected by other factors, and brexit was about far more than the economy.

    For you, the economy is the sole issue, and if the economy dips, I'm sure you'll be here yelling I told you so, and blaming it on brexit.

    For me, it's not so much of an issue, and even if it dips, and even if if brexit plays some part, it's a price worth paying.

    Well done, you called it right. <applause>

    That doesn't make it any less ludicrous.

    As they are so fond of saying, only in America!....

    I guess in summary I'm saying your fixation with brexit's effect on the economy is meaningless, for the reasons I've mentioned.

    Erm, the words in the shorter quote. It probably won't, but to try to help and stop you dragging this on and on, I said its your fixation that's irrelevant.

    The more that's coming out about Clinton, he can't possibly have done any worse.
