Hmmm.... so Rachel Reeves tells us that her visit to China & the deal(s) done will add £600m to the UK's economy over the next five years...

So just to put that in proportion; my ex-university, Lancaster U (a medium sized university in NW England) turned over £400m just last year..... so adding £120m a year to the economy, while something more than nothing, in the scheme of things is no great shakes, is it?

This is the problem with numbers being reported with no note on of scale!
