Brexit won't cause recession, Michael Gove says, as David Cameron warns there will be 'no turning back' , Telegraph and MSN



 

 
Britain will thrive outside the European Union, Michael Gove declares, as he rejects warnings that Brexit will cause a recession and urges the country to “vote for hope”.
In a passionate appeal to the public to set the country free from Brussels rule, the Vote Leave leader predicts the economy will prosper from a decision to pull out of the EU in this week’s historic referendum.

Mr Gove says voters should have confidence in Britain’s capacity to achieve “great things” as an independent country that is wholly run by MPs who are democratically elected by the British people.

In an interview with The Telegraph, he says the UK will be better placed to cope with the strains of global economic disruption if the country takes back full control over its own affairs.

IMF: Brexit May Not Mean A British Recession ,Msn & Sky News








Britain need not suffer a recession if it leaves the European Union, the International Monetary Fund has said in its assessment of the risks around the referendum. 

The Fund said that the UK economy would be comparatively weaker if it left the EU but under its "limited" scenario - in which Britain stayed in the European Economic Area, the group that includes Norway - growth would slip from 2.2% to 1.4% next year. 

The drop is significantly smaller than that forecast by the Treasury. However, the Fund said that under an "adverse" scenario, in which the UK left the EU and failed to seal a Norway-style deal, having to fall back on World Trade Organisation rules, the UK would suffer a recession in 2017, with the economy shrinking by 0.8%.

The Fund's conclusions about the economic impact of Brexit have been highly anticipated for the past month, since its managing director, Christine Lagarde said that they would range "from pretty bad to very, very bad".

"Unprecedented" openness to the gospel reported in Reading as 1,200 make commitments to Christ



Fri 17 Jun 2016 

By Sam Hailes Premier

Church leaders report as many as 1200 people have responded to the gospel on the streets of Reading over the past 3 weeks.

Rev Sam Owoo of Tyndale Baptist Church told Premier there is an "unprecedented" openness to the Christian message in the town.

While reluctant to use the word "revival", Neville Hollands from LifeSpring Church said there had been an "evangelistic awakening".

"It's early days but it seems God is up to something. Something is happening".
Mr Hollands also reported that church leaders in Reading have been gathering every Wednesday morning for the past 14 years to pray for the town.

 He said the latest news could be put down to "Good relationships and persistent prayer".

Reports of an awakening were first circulated after Florida-based evangelist Tommie Zito began holding meetings at The Gate Church in Reading to train local Christians in evangelism nearly 3 weeks ago.
