A seperate US Politics Thread maybe?
A goose and Nutsin thread is probably better.
To be fair, they should be praised. They've single handily destroyed all talk of politics (which is a huge bonus) on this site for everyone else. I've twice posted about UK politics on here recently, and it's been completely gobbled up with the shit they throw at each other.
Or maybe no one is interested in what you post tubby
What do you mean Trundle is the worlds most interesting poster.

Fuck that, it would just be a thread of weird videos he finds on Twitter and me having to constantly correct him (which even I’m getting tired of).
So, UK immigration from non EU countries……….. which countries are they coming from?

Strip out trade inventory & government spending and you have “Real Final Sales to Private Domestic Purchasers”. This is underlying demand growth.
Q2 was 1.2%, a step back of 0.7% from Q1.
Like I said, don’t just read the headlines.

Hey Goose how about these apples?
You really are a sucker for a headline.
When Q1 retracted it was all about inventory pull forward, now that unwinds it’s suddenly an economic miracle??
as I quoted from Reuters, “grossly distorted” by trade movements.
H1 is a mile behind LY and a mile behind all the expectations back at the start of the year.

WASHINGTON - U.S. economic growth rebounded more than expected in the second quarter, but that grossly overstated the economy's health as subsiding imports accounted for the bulk of the improvement and consumer spending increased moderately.
1.3% over H1 vs 2.8% in 2024.

The population of England and Wales has grown by more than 700,000 in the year to June 2024 - the second-largest increase in over 75 years.
The change was largely fuelled by international migration, with natural change - the difference between births and deaths - accounting for only a small proportion.

This has to be fake news surely?
”Between July 16 and 25, companies in the Reuters global tariff tracker said they expected to lose a combined $7.1 billion to $8.3 billion for the full year.”

It's the unnecessarily dramatic movie orchestra played over the top of a bit of pitch and putt for me. I was half expecting Godzilla to rise out of the bunker.
