Nope - so was Andrew Adonis, and it was wrong then too.
You really do rely very heavily on the tactic of whataboutery - it's an entirely reductive way to conduct an argument.

The ecconomy grew by 0.3% in Q3 nd contracted 0.2% in Q2 of 2019, therefore overall growth in the UK ecconomy, over the last 6 months is a MIGHTY 0.1% - Is that Buoyant ?
Taking account of inflation, consumption is down and we are actually in reverse.

any growth os good, certainly better than the recession caused by Labour.
Let's be homest, we're never going to agree, other than that Boris was the best of two pretty awful options. Brexit won the GE, people voted to get their voice heard again, it is how democracy works. (I voted remain in the referendum, remember)

Just as an aside, how do you equate voting remain with voting for Johnson? This isn't a dig by the way.
