Something else for you to chew on Iains. Direct Foreign investment into the UK has dropped by 90% in the last year, ninety percent!

You only give a partial quote from your source. The drop is compared with a bumper year in 2016.
It also appears to be a reduction in new investment. So the totals invested are rising more slowly.

The collapse in company registrations mirrors the reluctance of foreign companies to invest in the UK either by building new factories or buying UK businesses. OECD figures show that foreign direct investment into the UK tumbled in 2017 by 90% following a bumper year in 2016.
