British Airways is owned by IAG which combines Spanish and Irish airlines, so what if they moved some operations to Spain in the event of a no deal. The international head office of British Airways is in Harmondsworth Greater London. IAG also has its corporate headquarters in London.
Many banks have moved to Frankfurt you say? Name one which has completely uprooted and moved all its operations to Frankfurt. They are moving some operations and staff to various EU states.
Now for your 'stats'.
You conveniently ignored the nominal GDP figure, of course in terms of PPP we are lower, but these are meant to reflect 'living standards' so Brazil, India, Russia and Indonesia are supposedly better off with their PPP higher than the UK's lol!
Per capita the UK is at 29, but if you look at the rest of the countries, bar the US and Germany we have a bigger population.
As for the real growth rate yes it's low, but expected from a mature first world economies who have lower growth rates, which can be lower when we see spikes in inflation, other advanced economies also are in a similar position e.g. the US, Japan etc. The hilarious part here is that you actually compared the UK with basket case economies in Europe, sky high with debt and with major structural deficiencies Greece, Portugal etc.
As for productivity I'd agree that UK has work to do.
Here's some stats for you;
The UK is
fourth in the world on the Global Innovation Index 2018.
The United Kingdom’s economic freedom score is 78.9, making its economy the
7th freest in the 2019 Index.
The
UK ranks 9th in the world on the World Bank's index of 'ease of doing business'.
The UK doesn't need to have the largest army but our technological edge is greater than any European state (BAE, Rolls Royce) .
Aside France we spend more than anyone else, and also since when has spending more equalled power for countries of our size? Nations go through different budgets depending on their requirements through the years.
By the way you received your reply now don't go off-topic. Why don't you spend your time figuring out how Germany is going to solve its massive demographic time bomb;
The population is set to decline from a 2002 peak of 82m to 74.5m by 2050, according to the United Nations. The percentage of Germans under 15 is forecast to fall to 13 per cent, among the world’s lowest. The share of those over 60 is expected to rise from 27 per cent to 39 per cent.
