its official now we are in recession after the latest quarter fell by 20.4% which was on top of the previous quarter 2.2% contraction.
June did bounce back by 8.7% growth as shops etc reopened. Its gonna be a hard slog back as the economy is now smaller than it was in 2003.

Damn that's unfortunate, I had hoped that closing large swathes of the economy down would lead to economic growth

Keep the faith for Heaven sake!
On 1st January 2021, the "oven-ready deal" kicks in.
Recession? What recession?
We'll make up our own laws and not be dictated to by unelected (OK they are elected but shhhhhh) MEP's in Brussels - we'll have UK cabbages instead telling us what to do.
We'll "take back control" of our borders (in fact OK, we probably won't - as there won't be enough trained Customs Officials in time to check things). Good time to diversify into smuggling and human-trafficking though?
We'll have a 'Sovereign Parliament' (yeah, OK I know - Parliament is already 'Sovereign' but let's not get pedantic - it sounds important to the knuckle-dragging, S*n-reading neanderthals).
Just watch what trade will bring us from Australia - Vegemite and Tim Tams (believe me, Marmite and Penguins are soooo much nicer)..........just watch this utter entrusted to drive British industry forward:
If Johnson the had any idea about Australian snacks (which he clearly doesn't), he would have mentioned Lamingtons - these are pretty special cakes. In fact, he clearly knows very little.......about anything. It's all just clearly a cheeky chappy joke to him, isn't it.
Oh my dear little Brexiters........what have you gone and done?!

No thanks.
I wouldn't pee on him (or any of his mob) if they were alight in the gutter.

Brexit is going to be fun.
Country is going to be struggling big time within 2-3 years.

I would hope that with the whole world struggling, both sides will negotiate a great deal.

According to Prestige Worldwide, at least the young won't die of Covid-19.
So at least that's something for them to look forward to. I think?

What do you mean by 'both sides' - the EU and the UK?
Give me one single example of any great deal that has been agreed with the EU, which is going to be better for the UK, than what we already currently have (with the World's largest market)?

So you can't operate from the same place but under different IP addresses then?

You can't blame the tories for this.
