Britain's stock market has lost its position as Europe's most-valued, as the economic slowdown weighs on UK companies, data shows.
It is the first time Paris has overtaken London since records began in 2003, according to data from Bloomberg.London's FTSE 250 share index - which lists medium sized companies - has slumped by more than 17% over the last year as consumers and businesses struggle with rising inflation and higher interest rates.
According to Bloomberg, France's luxury goods makers helped to boost the overall value of the country's CAC 40 index of leading companies.
lewis_goodall Another Brexit Bonus!
If you are hosting the worlds illegals , criminals and gangsters in 4* hotels via the public purse it is inevitable France dumps them on us , we then use their Accor hotels via Serco and others winner - winner for them
So, Brexit is going well.
The brexit benefits will come.... eventually. Brexiteers can't tell us when.. they can't list what we have gained.. but the benefits will come.
That's Brexit for you.
Stop sending £billions to Ukrainian Nazis, which is affecting our energy markets and causing the instability🤦♂️🤦♂️

ProjectFearWasProjectFact
Common British L
Gee... I wonder how that could have happened?
Thank God.
This was always the plan, and we allowed it to happen!
Has the stock market taken into consideration all the control we've taken back?
Funny how they say London looses it but not Britain! Little britain is doomed under the tories!
Don't mention Brexit! I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it.
Who’d have thought!
2016? Wonder what that was !?
Politicians are to blame for this crisis because of their Brexit games with people’s minds, making them believe that Brexit has caused this mess and we need to go back into the EU. These are the games politicians play and they will win and Brexit will lose….
Project Oh Dear!
peterjukes The B-word was not mentioned in the article...
Another Tory Brexit Bonus! But the BBC doesn't want to admit that. But don't worry the new Brexit Labour Party will make it work🤦🤦♂️🤦♀️
BREXIT BREXIT BREXIT anyone? Does anyone want to claim another win?
When we warned, we were dismissed & ridiculed. When we explained, we were ignored. Now when we express our horror at the unfolding shitshow, we are accused of wanting it to prove a point. No. We wanted none of it. We just wished you’d joined us in not wanting it back in 2016.
Now the Tories will sit up and take notice as they and all their mates will be losing money...
'The London Stock Exchange, which was worth about $1.4 trillion more than its Parisian rival back in 2016.' Is this because of Albanians, tofu-eaters and straight bananas? Hmm.. What happened in 2016?
Bet the lefties love this. Dragging us into a tin shack third world gangster ridden society!
Curtesy of the ‘you know where you staan wif an ingwish bwekfast ‘ Boris brigade.
Thanks Brexit!
One plus side is that VERHOFSTADT won’t be boring everyone about the uk rejoining 👏
Yey! Another Brexit success!
Yay for Brexit, it's working so well isn't it
Let me guess - it's Brexit's fault.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
We all know why.
Don’t think the media screaming day/night about costs of living crisis etc the prime ministers being useless helps!A friend in China heard we would have power black outs & said the whole world knew!No other country parades issues worldwide like the U.K.The world is watching BBC
Shocker 🙄🙄 it’s BREXIT you can actually say it you know
Happy Brexit y'all!
lewis_goodall Brexit?
emilysheffield Brexit boost?
I wonder why! 🤔 In an entirely unrelated matter, did Jacob_Rees_Mogg ever identify any actual Brexit benefits?
Brexit or is it the fault of the anti-growth coalition Brexiteers? 😂
Yeah, that'll be the Brexit effect.
Yet another example of how, with their rancid Brexit, the Tories have demolished Britain.
Brexit. The sunlight uplands... ...of France. 🇪🇺🇫🇷
peterjukes This was an inevitable consequence of Brexit.
Hope you’re happy . With your supine kow-towing to a corrupt Tory government and refusal to acknowledge the effects of Brexit, the BBC has played its part in the downgrading and humiliation of the UK on the world stage.
Wonder what brought that on ..erm , don't mention the B word !!!!
This has nothing to do with Brexit! Stop mentioning Brexit! Why is everyone saying Brexit? Brexit.
A reminder if anyone dies read the story. China is not in the eu.
Awww good old Brexit
Not because of Brexit though.
The sweet smell of Brexit.
MaureenBrown27 Well done Tory Gvt, ERG and Brexiteers. It gets worse every day. We really do need to learn the lessons of Brexit, and quickly.
All these Brexit wins
I wonder why?
Everything is just down hill these days.
Incredible that brexit is only mentioned once and even then in passing.
Did you know saying Brexit for me means breaks it. Example:If yi pull that affi there it brex it. 🏴🤣

Even an element like me knew this was going to happen.
Brexit baby!!

BrexitBrokeBritain How long will we allow the poloticians to destroy our UK? Both Conservatives & UKLabour are failing us all, continuing with PROJECT BREXIT will continue to break the UK RejoinEU or at least SM it will restore and grow our economy and global trade.
Brexit bonus number 2,345 ... when will this Government put the blame where it lies?
They knew what they were voting for. Brexit
Well done Tories for failing once again bunch of lazy people not helping the country full of asylum seekers and terrible NHS Poilce and wasting money on Ukraine and lack of support on poor people i rather leave this s**thole and never return
Why?
Anyone else see sunlit uplands and will be kept warm this winter with blue passports and “sovvrinity”?
FFS
Cool. Hopefully we can rebalance the economy rather than being a glorified casino that crashes every few years. Side note - The Conservative Party aren't that good at capitalism are they? ... Or maybe capitalism's just not that good.
Well there will be better tax havens for crooks to put their money
Brexit
Wow shocking news. 🙄
✨ BREXIT BENEFITS ✨ 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
To be honest, it doesn’t really affect me as an individual up north. It probably does to the millionaires and billionaires who live in London and the South East though.
