UK ahead of EU as bloc likely to 'slip into recession'
The UK grew ever so slightly faster than the EU in the second quarter as falling exports brought growth in the bloc to a near standstill.

I was told this couldn't happen? What's gives?
Where were you told the EU could never go into recession?
A lot in the EU block had to change how their energy is supplied. Converting to use LNG over piped gas has incurred huge costs. The UK's gas supply is largely unchanged. Germany, The Netherlands and Poland are also affected by Ukraine to a greater extent. Germany and The Netherlands have also been impacted in much the same light as the UK with Brexit. No country is infallible when it comes to recessions.
I was told that the UK will always be behind the EU in every way and that if I questioned that I would be called stupid. 🤷
That really does not answer the question regarding being told that the EU could not go into recession, does it?
But whatever, since it looks like Brexit BS, we were also told £350m per week for the NHS, and yet they increase NI to fund the NHS. I am yet to see that increase be handed over though so that is a twofer straight off the bat. We were told that we would be better off outside the EU. Try a price comparison between Amazon anywhere in the EU and see how that same item costs in the UK. It is more expensive to trade with the EU than it is for the EU to trade with the UK. We do not play on a level field anymore. We were told there would be no depreciation in workers rights V's the EU, and in a single phrase "P&O did not dismiss any EU workers while removing all low paid workers UK workers". I could go on for a long time with this.
People who can provide evidence are a lot more credible. Joe bloggs has done many Videos on the EU. The EU knew it was in for a rough ride just on the gas issue alone. Comparing the UK to the EU is an ignorant viewpoint to take. As I have already said Brexit was not just the UK loosing out. It was also a massive problem for the EU. We suffered more because Johnson egregiously refused to prepare, while at the same time demanding the most severe conditions possible.
Ireland's bullshit GDP numbers got downgraded, because Apple transferring Intellectual Property isn't really GDP, and the ONS revised their UK numbers up adding 2% to UK GDP making it the 3rd fastest post pandemic recovery rather than the worst in the G7, which is now Germany
Something something schadenfreude...
