It does matter. Four years have been lost already. At best UK may ultimately reach pre-pandemic level after 6 month rather than one year. So 4 and half years or 5 years, it doesn't make much difference. What does matter is that it's a lot of lost years

Lol! So you still have not read it right? Just had a look at the title? Where is there a five year forecast in the OP or in the report?

You obviously did not read the OP. 5 years of lost growth, including the past four years, and the year to come (2024) "The amount of money made by the UK economy, its gross domestic product - or all the goods and services produced - is not forecast to return to 2019 levels until the second half of next year, Niesr forecast. This weak "stuttering growth" over a five year period has widened the gap between the wealthier and poorer parts of the country, the think tank said." More details about it by the Institute cited "Despite continuing to expect the United Kingdom to steer clear of a recession in 2023, GDP is projected to grow barely by 0.4 per cent this year and by 0.3 per cent in 2024, with the outlook remaining highly uncertain. There are, in fact, even chances that GDP growth will contract by the end of 2023 and a roughly 60 per cent risk of a recession at the end of 2024." https://www.niesr.ac.uk/publications/uk-heading-towards-five-years-lost-economic-growth?type=uk-economic-outlook Again, a past prediction from the IMF has nothing to do with the OP.

Yes! "Other countries just look and shake their heads and ask how dumb can people be?" But surely not for the reasons you evoke.

Come on! He's "neutral"!

The topic is not about a previous IMF forecast which has been revised. It's about 4 years already lost (fact), and likely one more year (which means a growth rate of around 0.5%).

So they don't need evidence! Pathetic.... It seems they have lost any hope to find evidence and are preparing ground to disguise a failure.

Insulting a judge is probably not the best way to proceed....

The four past years are not predictions. Already four years lost. Only one year is prediction.

Not tired of trolling?

Knowing UK GDP is still below pre-pandemic level, it's not unreasonable to predict it will only reach this kevel next year! "UK GDP is currently (2023 Q1) 0.5 per cent below the level of GDP before the pandemic. Our forecast does not have it passing this level until the third quarter of 2024." https://www.niesr.ac.uk/publications/uk-heading-towards-five-years-lost-economic-growth?type=uk-economic-outlook

Is this supposed to be funny?

Tss tss

I guess he has a good memory. He's just asking questions, to which he already knows the answer, to make other posters waste their time.

Of course, you compare UK to the current weakest Country. What about the others or the euro zone? BTW, UK GDP is still below pre-pandemic level (Q1 2023) https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/sn02784/

Your reply did not address the specific issue in the OP. Just your ysual rant against the EU.

So what exactly in the event described in the OP goes against the interest of member states? It seems you are unable to substantiate your initial claim.

Of course he knows that, he's just trolling.

As explained many time: - Unlike Biden and Pence,Trump intentionally took the documents (his own words), - Unlike Biden and Pence, Trump refused to give them back and committed an obstruction

What you describe are the consequences of the type of trade deal negotiated and was expected. In the particular case evoked in the OP, I don't see what the EU is doing against the interest of member States.

It won't be chaos (yellow shirts) because: - Thaksin will come back only if 'someone' agrees to it - there is no popular support for yellow shirts any more

"when it is at the expense of it's own member states." How is it at the expense of its own member states?

Are you really hoping we would believe that you (and most MAGA folks) have watched the Jan. 6 committee hearings, which have not been diffused live by Fox News?

The guy is obviously not happy! (Sorry mods, the original text is in caps) "NO WAY I CAN GET A FAIR TRIAL, OR EVEN CLOSE TO A FAIR TRIAL, IN WASHINGTON, D.C. THERE ARE MANY REASONS FOR THIS, BUT JUST ONE IS THAT I AM CALLING FOR A FEDERAL TAKEOVER OF THIS FILTHY AND CRIME RIDDEN EMBARRASSMENT TO OUR NATION, WHERE MURDERS HAVE JUST SHATTERED THE ALL TIME RECORD, OTHER VIOLENT CRIMES HAVE NEVER NEEN WORSE, AND TOURISTS HAVE FLED. THE FEDERAL TAKEOVER IS VERY UNPOPULAR WITH POTENTIAL AREA JURORS, BUT NECESSARY FOR SAFETY, GREATNESS, & FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE!" https://news.yahoo.com/trump-freaks-over-pelosis-sad-161511234.html

And Trump's reply! "I saw a scared puppy,' she said, as she watched me on television, like millions of others, that didn't see that. I wasn't 'scared.' Nevertheless, how mean a thing to say! She is a Wicked Witch whose husbands journey from hell starts and finishes with her. She is a sick & demented psycho who will someday live in HELL! https://news.yahoo.com/trump-freaks-over-pelosis-sad-161511234.html
