103 Economists Are Wrong About The UK (Here's the Data)
from Noise Cancelling with Neil Woodford · host W4.0
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 📥 DOWNLOAD Neil's Full 2026 Outlook: https://www.w4pz.com/global-economic-outlook-2026/ 🎬 WATCH our 2026 Outlook Podcast: https://youtu.be/z-Vuk2qlk0s
