It goes without saying that the 20.4% contraction in April is the worst on record

It’s been no secret that the UK growth figures for April would be a horror show. With the economy in full lockdown as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic it was inevitable that activity would take a hit of historic proportions.

Maybe you need to look from the right side instead. Here is lesson for you...

Calamitous - what do you expect when everything is shut down?

Thanks China 👏🏻

Maybe UKLabour didn’t do so badly in 2008-2010. Interested to hear the Tory spin on this and the need to grow out of this

Really! Who would have thought it 🙄Keep up

No shit Sherlock 🕵️‍♂️

No wonder this rag is nearly out of business. No shit sherlock GDP is down, I think the pandemic had everything to do with it. Print the news not some activist leaflet!

tell us something we didn't expect

Just a wild guess... but I’m wondering if this has anything to do with the fact we’re in the middle of a pandemic? And shops are shut? It’s a long shot I know, but maybe this is why? 🙄

No shit Sherlock!

No shit.

WHAT THE FK DO YOU EXPECT YOU WNKERS ... WE’VE BEEN SAT ON OUR ARSES FOR NEARLY 4 MONTHS!! .... You know, the socialist way 🤷‍♂️

Yes, and ‘thank you’ for the part you played..........

Can someone send the rescue team?

No, I don't believe it

This is meaningless without context. For example, where does Britain rank amongst G8?

nickmurftweets Who knew? Journalism of the highest order.

Weird. Do you think something significant has happened?

This is where the Thursday clap got you

I thought it would of flew up what with all the millions of people off work🤔🤔🤔🤔

RupaHuq Fallen of its *first* cliff of 2020

The British economy

Next Brexit....

The snow flake rioters with their degrees in media studies are going to be jobless, oh dear!

Were you sleeping during the 2008 financial crisis when we didn't have 80% of the workforce out due to pandemic?

The white cliffs of Dover perhaps?

compared to what? last years pandemic? you are comparing apples with pears

Excuse me, what's the street of the picture?

Its almost as if shutting dowm most of the economy would cause this. 🙄 endthelockdownuk

...and BoJo thinks he’s been cursed by COVID 19... wait until he wakes up to this!

Not sure what was expected considering the whole world closed down for 3 months

Not surprising considering the majority of the population could not work. What a ridiculous headline, is a tabloid reporter writing for you now?

We can thank the Tories, Boris, and Cummings for their shitshow of a covid response for that.
