They mentioned on Newsnight last night the increase is from 2001 or thereabouts, not 2020 as mentioned by Jim. Whether it was a genuine error by him or said intentionally who knows.He is incredibly good at what he does in his business niche. But he doesn't really seem to have a clue about other things. To claim that the UK population has gone up by twelve million since 2020 is just nuts. Claiming that the UK had 25% GDP from manufacturing as recently as 1995 is utterly ridiculous. Maybe living in Monaco means he doesn't really know about the UK.
