    Wonderful news, it’s not exactly a high benchmark though. Japan’s economic growth has been stagnant for years, Italy has been very low growth for a long time, and Germany was still in recession last I checked!

  2. LOL Germany’s economy is a raging dumpster fire right now. VW group are about to shut down german Plant for the first time ever. Italy is no great shakes and japan has been in a rolling stagflation bounce for the last 30 years.

  3. Germany and Italy, two EU members. Yet there’s still people who insist it’s all doom and gloom.

    >The OECD’s latest outlook ranked Britain joint second among the G7 developed countries in its latest outlook for the world economy.

    However, the UK is still expected to have the highest inflation in the group.

    Being British is about being constantly disappointed.

    Is there some way we can spin this as a negative? Maybe including something about Brexit being a disaster?

    Waiting for that promised Brexit collapse, where our financial sector leaves for Frankfurt and German GDP soars… any second now…

    Will this new Labour government blame the Tories for this news?
    🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

  8. Well Japan and Italy have had fairly disasterous economies for decades, not sure that’s a high bar.

    Germany has reaped the reward of trying to appease Russia, also not a high bar anymore.

    We should be doing far better.
