Yesterday Liam Fox informed activists at the Conservative Party Conference that the economy has 'boomed' since the referendum.

What planet is this man on? Nothing gets fixed if you deny/ignore/blatantly lie about what's wrong. Is this what cabinet members are forming policies based on? Blatant lies told to keep the relatively few members and activists they have left happy?

Economic growth in the UK started a downward trend just before the referendum, a factor in that being the mere presence of said referendum. After the referendum that drop accelerated and the UK has in 2 years gone from being the fastest growing economy in the G7 to the slowest.

Maybe Dr Fox has a different definition of the word 'boom' from the rest of us?

This put here as if it's indicative of the 'alternative facts' being fed to people at the Conference some other policy decisions and opinions start making more sense.
