Another dissembling Tory **** stain:
Here is the exchange between Kwasi Kwarteng, the chancellor, and the BBC’s Chris Mason.
MASON: Do you think the economy is in recession?
KWARTENG: Technically, the Bank of England said that there was a recession, I think it’ll be shallow and I hope that we can rebound and grow
MASON: So you’re acknowledging that there is going to be a recession
KWARTENG: I’m not acknowledging that, no no I said that there is technically a recession. We’ve had two quarters of very little, negative growth and I think these measures are gonna help us drive growth.
MASON: a recession is a recession and you’re saying we’re in recession
KWARTENG: I’m not saying we’re in recession, I’m referring to what the Bank has said. And I think we’re gonna drive growth with these policies
MASON: what’s the difference between a technical recession and a recession
KWARTENG: There’s a big difference. Technically, the economists say two consecutive quarters, but I think we’re going to grow the economy, that’s what we’re doing that’s what we’re focused on.
