What happened here?

[catinstalbans]

I'm a teacher and don't follow business investment so could you Business Experts or English Nationalists please enlighten me on what might be the cause of the change in the pattern here. Analysing graphs is a typical maths skill for science and we practise with many examples.
Clearly the first mark would be obtained for a correct description of the pattern- Business Investment was generally increasing in the UK until 2016 but then levelled off.
What could possibly have caused such a change?

I think what’s happened here is quite clear.

An obsessive poster has pitched in yet another dull & pointless pitch in which no-one is remotely interested.

Here to help.

Next…..

Just checked the graphs for all EU countries and they all show a worse performance than the UK.

You’ve opened yourself up a little on this one Cat.

The graph shows me that under the Tory’s business investment has increased significantly from when Labour were last in power?

Then it’s fallen off as lockdown has hit and business has been retarded by COVID in 2020 after a period of sustained investment from 2016

Not really. There had been a massive slump in investment in 2008 worldwide because of the international banking crisis (not Labour's fault).by 2010 turnaround had already begun thanks to the policies of Gordon Brown and the labour government. The trend merely continued until 2016. The question remains, what happened then?

Apparently sales of inflatable dolls and cream to soothe blistered palms have soared in St.Albans.Well done Cat for buying British.

Another Dead Cat.

Well, I suppose it is on the politics forum so it's got to be expected.
