Lies and stats
This government lies with effortless and well practised guile. The latest is that the food and drinks industry has booming exports and that the UK is now a better place for SME’s to do business.
Neither is true but the government has a whole PR machine to pump the lies out and fact checking takes time, so the lie is well established before the rebuttal arrives. By which time the news cycle has moved on.
So let’s get the truth in ahead of the lie, at some point the UK will attract a large inward investment, a massive factory for instance. This will be heralded as proof positive that Brexit is working and the UK is winning. Neither will be true.
The statistics show that inward investment has fallen, the UK is not as attractive a place to invest in as it was and the government will have to throw money, subsidies and sweeteners at companies to attract them.
Brexit does not make the UK a basket case, just less attractive than it was. The stats prove it, anything else is a lie.
Economics, trade and Brexit, not necessarily in that order but the dog always comes first.
