This is exactly the sort of stuff that I’ve been talking about, NI. LSE can make all the claims they like but in truth they don’t have a clue; and I’d love to have an opportunity to challenge what will undoubtedly be their computer modelling in coming up with this number.
Apart from anything else, every other major economy is suffering from inflation in the same way as the UK, so presumably that’s down to Brexit as well????? On top of that there’s absolutely no mention of energy costs, which are the main driver of inflation. This is blatant spin and I’m surprised you could be taken in by it, unless of course you’re ion a fishing expedition.
What people need to remember is that even the best academic establishments now have to market themselves, including the likes of LSE; and they know exactly the sort of ‘results’ that generate greatest interest, including anything that ‘demonstrates’ Brexit failing.
Absolute tosh, especially given it’s from Heseltine.
