"... some parts of the country, led by the North West [of England], are actually doing way better than people seem to realise or appreciate."
"Because of course, in principle, I share the views of many that Brexit is a really weird thing for the UK to impose on itself from an economic perspective.
"And maybe this [better global growth] means the country's going to be able to cope with Brexit better than certainly somebody like me might have thought some time ago.
"But I would quickly add at the same time, I have felt for a good couple of years, as important as Brexit is, it isn't the most important thing facing Britain's future."
He said that global growth, better productivity and rebalancing government policies to support the north of England and other regions beyond London was much more important.
There was some evidence, Lord O'Neill argued, that was now happening.
He said that the "Brexiteers are going to be like the cat with the cream. They're like 'there you go, told you so', which of course is ridiculous".
