We can all take immense pride and satisfaction in my achievement in leading Britain out of recession. There is no other country in the world which has so rapidly emerged from the crisis that was brought about by the forces of Wall Street-globalist-adventurism (apart from Germany, France, the US, Japan, Italy and one or two others).

It would, of course, be foolish to read too much into a single monthly figure. As you know, I am far too prudent to exaggerate the importance of one statistic amongst so many. But the fact remains that an increase of 0.1 percent in our economy is a staggering achievement, and clearly means that our nation is once again firmly established on the road to an age of unparalleled economic prosperity.
