Well yes, there was the lie that EU=bad and WTO=good.Forgive me if I'm wrong but wasn't the big plus of Brexit to not be bound by EU regulations and to use British companies when appropriate....
EU launches post-Brexit legal challenge against UK over wind farm subsidies
Not the time to be ‘fighting this out in court’, says Whitehall officialwww.independent.co.uk
Yet Britain’s on course to overtaking France in the gdp league table . Funny old world.
According to Wikipedia the UK had been above France since 2014.
That's not actual GDP, it's been zeroed Q4 2019. Don't play with numbers you don't understand.
The graph accurately shows movement in GDP in percentage terms since Q4 2019 but that does not mean 'Yet Britain’s on course to overtaking France in the gdp league table' as claimed.
Every graph that has every existed in the history of bloody graphs has been 'selective'!!! The issue is 'does the graph support the statement/claim being made'?So your original graph was "selective" ? Fancy dat.
‘The best plan to break up the euro’? The IEA is a very partisan organisation and only Tories are likely to cite it.Selective graph and a claim........ just so we are clear.
I`ll go with the Jessop chap who`s CV reads as follows..................
"I am a professional economist with thirty-five years of experience gained in the public sector, the City and consultancy, including stints at HM Treasury, HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank and Capital Economics.
Most recently, I was Chief Economist at the Institute of Economic Affairs, the educational charity and free-market think tank. I left that role in 2018, but continue to support the work of the IEA, especially schools and university outreach, on a ‘pro bono’ basis. In addition, I hold the honorary position of IEA Economics Fellow, am a member of the IEA’s Academic Advisory Council, and sit on the IEA’s Shadow Monetary Policy Committee (SMPC).
I also work with Speakers for Schools, am a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, and have recently joined the Advisory Board of the Independent Business Network.
Previously, I was a Director, Chief Global Economist and Head of Commodities Research at the leading independent consultancy, Capital Economics, where I worked from 2004 to 2017. I regularly presented to clients across North America, Europe and Asia.
I was also a leading member of the Capital Economics team, headed by Roger Bootle, which won the £250,000 Wolfson Economics Prize in 2012 (for the best plan to break up the euro)."

But the Prof. doesn't make the false claim that @PottersRightBoot makes. The Prof. simple puts it out there hoping people who don't understand what the graph actual shows misinterpret it. Oh look!Selective graph and a claim........ just so we are clear.
