Exactly as predicted you are now claiming that I am still wrong by picking a suitable timescale instead of discussing the point. As already said in another comment the graph does show a decline as 2024 is still below 2019, especially with a drop in 2023 (which corresponds to the highest annual population growth on record).

I don't know why you are doing that (using narrowest possible interpretation of what I wrote to "prove me wrong" and "debunk") but you are not commenting anything constructive or substantial.

OK, so your claim of decline is true if you carefully pick the right timescale. I do not think that approach is reasonable.

The UK economy (in common with other European economies) did badly in 2023 which proves what exactly?

I didn't pick a timescale, you did. I wrote that "the GDP per capita has been declining", which is has and you provided the graph that shows it. Obviously I meant currently/recently...

Again, what are you trying to achieve by attacking me so disingenuously?
