> The UK economy grew in May, bouncing back after shrinking in April and March, official figures show.
> The economy grew by 0.5% in May, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said, after it contracted by 0.2% the month before.
> Analysts had predicted growth of just 0.1%. Many have warned the UK risks going into recession later this year.
> Growth in the construction industry and a large rise in GP appointments helped to boost the economy, the ONS said. Darren Morgan, director of economic statistics at the ONS, said the UK economy had “rebounded” with growth across the main sectors.
A BBC positive news article that doesn’t contain the phrase “despite Brexit”. Maybe people are starting to move on from 2016 given the much bigger problems around now.
Good news in spite of everything that’s going on.
I think people should understand this doesnt mean something good, like every depression history the economy rises only to fall hard
