And yet they aren't hobbling along behind like we are. they were growing slower than us. In 2016 the UK was 10th in growth in EU. How does UK growth compare with EU countries today? |

You missed the fact that home ownership increased under New Labour and so did the building of affordable homes. __"Rates of home ownership in England peaked under the previous Labour government in 2003 at 71% before plateauing and then falling back sharply in the wake of the financial crisis, to hit a low of 62.6% in 2016/17. Since then, home ownership has recovered slowly and currently stands at 64.9%. Then there is the obvious part that you miss which is that the situation would have been different BUT FOR THE EXCESS OF CASH FLOWING THROUGH THE BANKS AND AN EXPANDING ECONOMY. How do you come to that conclusion - building by Councils and Housing Associations collapsed during the New Labour era. Correct, that point is made in the post you replied to. |

The bit that shows our growth at 1-1.5% while the EU grows at 2.5-3%. |

The bit that shows our growth at 1-1.5% while the EU grows at 2.5-3%. If you look closely that is at market prices - the graph I posted from the World Bank shows that until the Pandemic there was no hit to UK growth from these supposed 'austerity' measures. |

So you don't know the answer to the question, but take pleasure in claiming that the EU as a whole are trailing the UK in growth. Playing catch-up yet the UK in 2016 were still tenth in terms of countries in the EU. The EU position as posted earlier was from 2012, austerity and growth, not just austerity. |

The EU has 27 countries to deal with, some of which were and still are in the process of sorting out and building up their their economy. Which is part of what the EU is about. I'll wait and see just where that ping pong bounce ends up. |

So where is the economic hit from austerity - I cant see it Try asking the Nurses and those in the Civil Service about austerity. From what I've read it seems that the rich got richer over that period while the lower paid became worse off. |
