Breaking: it's now official, the pro-EU D66 party came first in the Dutch election. Their best result ever.
The National Press Agency has just announced the final vote count. It’s a narrow victory with D66 just 15,155 votes ahead of the far-right PVV of Geert Wilders.

The most pro-EU party just won big in the Dutch election
D66 had a surprise surge, tripling their seats in yesterday's Netherlands election—and its openly gay leader Rob Jetten is set to become prime minister.

Perfect example of the damage caused by Brexit.
Nobody has ever claimed that Brexit makes growth impossible.
But it has provably harmed the UK's prospects compared to other advanced economies.
And that damage is ongoing. It's not a one-and-done event.

We were told that Asia Pacific was leaving the EU standing and that the UK had to "unshackle" itself from "slow growth" Europe and jump on the CPTPP "rocketship". 9 years on the EU has grown its GDP2x faster than CPTPP, just another example of #Brexit BS

Financial journalism in this country is so poor, people now think it's great news that the IMF forecast the UK to have the 2nd fastest GDP growth in the G7.
Sadly, that's not the real story here. A better measure of living standards is GDP/capita.
What does the IMF say about that?
Oh.
