We all know the real rate is higher given all the tricks they employ to massage the figures however given there's a fall in those figures it surely indicates growing health in the economy despite all the absurd predictions prior to June.

Of course what does need fixing in our economy and there's signs of it happening are getting our cities other than London to grow and have well paid jobs. It makes little sense companies paying inflated wages and office floor costs in central London when there's plenty of development land in other cities such as Manchester, Liverpool, Glasgow, Cardiff, Belfast, Newcastle. For example that £50bn absurd HS2 line should be spent on major transport upgrades and infrastructure in office areas in those cities.

Thoughts?

That's Brexit's fault that is.

Oh wait.

The trouble is that other cities need major redevelopment for them to be attractive.

As a professional, I don't want to have my base outside of London. I am attracted to my employer because they are based in London - and I imagine many others feel like that, too.
