The UK economy grew by 0.5% in the three months to the end of December, official figures show, taking the annual rate of growth for 2015 to 2.2%.
The Office for National Statistics show an improvement on the third quarter figure of 0.4%.
But the 2.2% annual growth in 2015 was down compared with 2.9% in 2014.

First of all this is not the whole picture and what we got is housing construction bubble and house hold spending resulting in house hold debt rising!

Second of all don't forget Q3 2015 was revised down from 0.5% to 0.4%.

Lets us wait a while for the full facts to come out.

It takes all the EU members to agree to any meaningful changes and the subject of welfare benefits is a meaningful change and one to which Poland is adamantly opposed to as are other eastern states.

So what gives?

Bank of England cuts growth outlook

The Bank of England cut its economic growth forecasts on Thursday due to a darker global outlook, and the lone policymaker who had backed a rate rise in recent months unexpectedly abandoned this position.

Don't tell Gids this as far as he is concerned everything is coming up rosy.

Britain's pro-EU campaign predicts big victory in vote

Britain will vote to stay in the EU by a "substantial margin" predicted the leader of a campaign to keep the world's fifth-largest economy in the trading bloc, slating the opposing "out" movement for what he said was failure to present an alternative to membership.

Stuart Rose, chairman of the "Britain Stronger in Europe" group...

Is this the same Stuart Rose who could not name his in organisation?
