All Europe’s economies are struggling but the UK’s markets are at their highest level in history

Last week the UK’s main stock market index – the FTSE 100 – hit a record high. So did the All-Share Index. Facts4EU.Org and CIBUK.Org reveal the inconvenient truth for the BBC and all those who wish to talk our country down.

Growth up, stock markets at record levels

A Facts4EU.Org and CIBUK.Org two-part special report
on the good news in Brexit Britain

  1. Part OneBrexit Britain’s economy grows again, confounding Rejoiners’ hopes

  2. Part TwoOfficial: Brexit Britain’s stock markets reached record highs on Friday
    Yet another Remainer-Rejoiner myth is destroyed, by Brexit Facts4EU.Org

In this two-part report, we provide the official facts
showing more reasons why the UK should never even think of rejoining the EU

Below we present the simple, official facts, obtained by us from the London Stock Exchange on Sunday 15 January 2023. We show the two indices on 01 Jan 2016 (six months before the EU Referendum) and the same indices last Friday (13 Jan 2023). These show growth of almost 29% in each case.

And it’s not only the large multinationals who are doing well

When presented with information such as that above, Rejoiners will clutch at straws and say “Ah, but those are only the big multinationals. They might be listed in London but they do most of their business abroad.”

The bad news for Rejoiners – but the good news for everyone else – is that Facts4EU.Org and CIBUK.Org also looked at the London Stock Exchange’s All-Share Index.

Observations

Last week Facts4EU.Org and CIBUK.Org published a report showing how the UK’s economy has risen since the EU Referendum. Contrary to what Rejoiners would have readers believe, GDP is up in Brexit Britain.

No-one is suggesting that we are not facing very difficult economic conditions, but so are most western economies. In the UK’s case, the vast expenditure on - and overreaction to - Covid has left us with a bill which will take many years to pay off.

For now, let’s just focus on two important facts:

  1. Real GDP is up since the Referendum, and
  2. The stock markets are flying high, at record levels

When one contrasts this with the absolute misery and doom-mongering being spouted by Rejoiners and their friends at the BBC, FT, and other pro-EU and anti-Brexit media outlets, Brexiteers can smile over their morning coffee.

Now all we have to do is to get these positive messages out there. We are doing what we can with extremely limited resources (unlike the Rejoin campaign) to promote this good news. Will you help by retweeting, and by reposting on Facebook? And could you please donate to keep us going?

We must get reports like this out there

Reports like the one above take far longer to research, write and produce than many people realise. If they were easy, readers would see other organisations also producing these daily.

However, there’s little point in the Facts4EU.Org team working long hours, seven days-a-week, if we lack the resources to promote them effectively – to the public, to MPs, and to the media. This is where you come in, dear reader.

Facts4EU.Org needs you today

We are a 'not for profit' team (we make a loss) and any payment goes towards the actual work, not plush London offices, lunch or taxi expenses, or other luxuries of some organisations.

We badly need more of our thousands of readers to become members, to support this work. Could this be you, today? It's quick and easy, we give you a choice of two highly secure payment providers, and we do NOT ask you for further support if you pay once. We just hope you keep supporting us. Your membership stays anonymous unless you tell us otherwise.

Please don't assume that other people will keep us going - we don't receive enough to survive and we need your help today. Could you help us? We rely 100% on public contributions from readers like you.

If you believe in a fully-free, independent, and sovereign United Kingdom, please join now by clicking on one of the links below or you can use our Support page here. You will receive a personal, friendly ‘thank you’ from a member of our team within 24 hours. Thank you.
