The UK economy continues to essentially flailing - growth in GDP struggled up to 0.5% in February, but this was before the ripples of Trump's more recent actions hit these shores.
For the de-growth crowd this looks OK, but as I've said before while there may be an argument for managed de-growth, chaotic & unplanned economic stagnation (prompted in part by the BoE policies on inflation) skews the adjustment onto the poor & vulnerable.
The UK needs a new economic mind-set...

I am sure we need to stop talking ourselves down, constant negatives and talk of recession surely spooks investors which impacts on a much wider range of sectors.

Yes, that's an interesting point; certainly sentiment (especially among investors) plays a role, but the UK's 'fundamentals' - levels of investment, productivity stagnated, declining public services, also contribute to investors looking for good places to invest - there are plenty of better places to invest....
