The stunning new figures show Britain soaring after leaving the EU, and that the economic dark clouds gathering are very much of the scrambling Chancellor’s own making. <\/p>\n

The Chancellor\u2019s debunked claims at a glance\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since leaving the EU, Britain has outpaced the continent in terms of real GBP growth by a huge 12 per cent.<\/p>\n
This was compared to the nearest competitors, France, with 11.5 per cent, Italy, with 9.5 per cent, and Europe\u2019s often celebrated economic powerhouse, Germany, with 5.6 per cent. <\/p>\n
The facts do not bear out the chancellor\u2019s claim that Britain\u2019s GDP has contracted by four per cent.<\/p>\n
Reform\u2019s leader Richard Tice called the findings \u201cdamming\u201d for Ms Reeves, who \u201cpinned all her hopes on trying to fool the British public that Brexit is somehow to blame for the economic crisis she has plunged us into\u201d. <\/p>\n
He added: \u201cWe\u2019ve beaten Germany \u2013 in fact, our economic growth has been more than double theirs. We\u2019ve beaten France and we\u2019ve beaten Italy. We wish them well, but this is something to be celebrated, and it shows what a great, resilient country we are.”<\/p>\n

The bogus projections laid bare<\/p>\n
The Chancellor and the OBR\u2019s claims about a four per cent retraction in GDP are based on reports from George Osborne and the Treasury from before the Referendum. <\/p>\n
The bogus reports averaged 13 forecasts from a plethora of sources, each one of them anti-Brexit. These projections also claimed Brexit would bite immediately after voting to leave. <\/p>\n
In another galling turn, the forecasts attempted to forecast Britain\u2019s economic woes over a 15-year period – a time period far pushing the meagre prediction powers of the Treasury and OBR. <\/p>\n
This is where Ms Reeves’s brazen four per cent figure originates. <\/p>\n
Sir John Redwood called the claim a \u201cbreathtaking lie\u201d as he blamed \u201ca bad, average forecast of four per cent less productivity growth over 15 years or an annual rate of 0.25 per cent less\u201d.<\/p>\n

Briain\u2019s post-Brexit Boom in emplyoment\u00a0<\/p>\n
Contrary to the doomsaying of the then 2016 Government, the number of employed Britons has risen by an impressive 2.4million since Brexit. <\/p>\n
At the time, it was predicted that leaving the EU would lead to as many as 500,000-820,000 being made redundant. <\/p>\n
Like the GDP figures, the opposite occurred as employment figures have continued to grow by 7.5 per cent since the Brexit vote. <\/p>\n
