A whopping 9.8 per cent of GDP was erased in 2020, according to World Bank figures, while the German economy only slipped 4.9 per cent.

EU GDP 2019 was 13.97 trillion euros and forecast in 2021 is 14.7 trillion euros despite losing the UK from it’s gdp this year. Every country in the EU has a higher gdp than 2019, only Brexit UK is failing. Sunak opens his mouth and lies come out, the UK is a failing state with a failing Government.
