103 Economists Are Wrong About The UK (Here's the Data)
In December, Neil published his 2026 outlook, calling for 2% UK growth while the consensus predicted just 1%. This week, the FT polled 103 economists — two-thirds expect even MORE tax rises due to "persistently weak growth."
Neil thinks they're wrong. Again.
In this episode, we stress-test Neil's thesis against the consensus view. We cover:
- Why the same economists who were wrong in 2025 are making the same mistakes again
- The Venezuela shock — why oil DROPPED when everyone expected chaos
- The AI "bubble" that isn't — it's a new arms race
- The really undiscovered story about UK domestic stocks
