Hang out the flags. Tuesday marked the third anniversary of the UK leaving the EU. Glory day. Correction. Glory days. What we always wanted. Well, some of us. Increasingly just a few of us.
Now is not the time for declinism. As Jeremy Hunt recently told us in his Bloomberg speech, we should stop talking the UK down. People like the banker and former Conservative donor Guy Hands should stop being so bloody miserable and calling Brexit an unmitigated disaster and start cheering its triumphs. So GDP is down 4%. Big deal. It could so easily have been 5 or 6%. Why can’t people focus on that for a change?
