So it went from 0.1% to 0.2%. Is that a 50% error or a 100% error?
100% uplift. Twice as much. Double original estimate. However, the number is so small it’s de minimis however it’s described.
It’s a 50% error if you go from .2 to .1 100% if you go from .1 to .2
Agreed. De minimis was not referring to the margin of error but the number on which the margin of error referred.
I was making an ironic comment that at best the ONS were in error by 50%.
Both missing each other’s irony. How ironic 


Small rise at least, but should (and needs to be) be higher.
So economy not quite down and out yet in spite of efforts to talk it down. Unemployment at record lows and vacancies remain high
Why do you publish this data early as you always revise it. These stats are used politically but are never corrected politically. We see out of date stats repeated by various politically parties if it is to their advantage.
I agree with your statement and assessment. I'm sure if the result was going to be excessively positive, they would have held the results until 'all the data was in'. Its always easy to sell bad news.
