  1. Another **brilliant** pieces of news for the Union. Incredible for those of us in Scotland who pay the most for energy to have a strong UK economy backing that up…

  2. As long as Trump keeps his attack on globalism up we stand a good chance of rebounding very fast. Tariffs on EU produced alcohol of 200%? Bring it on, great news for Scotch exports.

    Tariffs on Bourbon in the EU? Oh dear, what could possibly replace that?

    The government needs to not panic now and play their cards right and we may FINALLY see some ACTUAL growth in this country.

  3. Taking everyone’s money away and not investing in anything is somehow making the economy shrink

  4. Don’t worry lads, once Kendall has finished putting a few more disabled people through a wood chipper we should be in growth town!!

  5. With parts of the UK 🇬🇧 now poorer than Lithuania🇱🇹 it’s good to know that New Labour 🌹 really knows how to fulfil it’s promises of ‘growth growth growth’ 📉

    😂😂😂

    It’s almost like they don’t have a clue

    Well done Unionists for showing us just how bad sticking with the UK is.

    😳😳😳

  6. Haha fuck you Rachel we both going to hell together ❤️

  7. Let’s be more right wing than the worst Tory government ever and see what happens

    Although to be fair to the Tories they despite being incredibly moronic wouldn’t have been so moronic to enact a tax on employers employing folk because they’d moronically ruled out every other form of tax increase

  8. > “…We are launching the biggest sustained increase in defence spending since the cold war.”

    > The chancellor is expected to announce deep cuts in government welfare spending at the spring statement on 26 March to stay within the government’s budget rules.

    Wait, so the government is being forced to cut spending to social services, in a way that’s unavoidable because of fiscal rules, but defence spending is fair game? What happened to the fiscal rules and the black hole of debt? Why is that line only trotted out to justify cuts to welfare spending?

  9. Economic Growth is a fixation of the rich. The reality is that there is plenty of energy, food and entertainment for everyone to have their basic needs met if the very richest paid for what they take in labour, innovation and natural resources.
