London mayor Sadiq Khan’s call for an honest debate on the economic cost of Brexit is welcome, given all major parties’ omerta on the issue.
But your article on January 12 (Report), foreshadowing his speech quoted, without comment, a Treasury statement that “the UK has grown faster than Germany since leaving the EU, and the IMF has said our medium-term growth outlook is brighter than many of our neighbours on the continent, including France and Germany”.
Did the FT fact check that, or try to put it into context? It seems at odds with the economic data supplied elsewhere in the article.
