Thanks MR. This certainly shows that the average global economy has grown faster than the total EU economy. Not quite what you said, but I'm happy not to split hairs.

And I agree we have a very services-focused economy. There are those who could prefer the UK to move away from this and provide more diversity within the economy. But I work in services, so I'm not in a great place to comment.

I also agree with your point in another post - I'd prefer we strike a trade deal with the EU, and it needs to be one that works for us.

To be fair to May she did at the outset talk about what she judged to be the country's priorities. Taking control of borders; control of laws; continued frictionless trade.
