The Office for National Statistics (ONS) recorded no growth in the UK economy for the month of April, which was in line with economists' expectations, report Mitchell Labiak and Andy Verity. Chancellor Jeremy Hunt said the data showed the economy "is turning a corner." However, Labour’s Shadow Chancellor Rt Hon Rachel Reeves focused on the flat reading seen in April, saying that: "These figures expose the damage done after fourteen years of Conservative chaos." Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesperson Sarah Olney said: "As Rishi Sunak's time as prime minister peters out, so does the UK's economic growth." The UK's gross domestic product (GDP), which measures the value of goods and services produced in a country over time, had grown 0.4% in March. April's sluggishness comes after the UK economy recorded its fastest growth in two years from January to March, exiting the recession it fell into in the final half of last year. #Growth #GeneralElection #Stagnation https://lnkd.in/eN_NqTiY

These estimates suggest that #Brexit had already reduced UK real GDP relative to the baseline by just under one per cent in 2020 as consumers and businesses adapted their expectations even before the TCA came into force. Our estimates further suggest that three years after the transition period, UK real GDP is some 2-3 per cent lower due to Brexit, compared to a scenario where the United Kingdom retained EU membership. This corresponds to a per capita income loss of approximately £850. Source: National Institute of Economic and Social Research

We are proud to announce our very own Helen Thomas, CEO of Blonde Money and former advisor to George Osborne, appeared on Sky News this morning to discuss October’s GDP figures, the first released since Labour came to power. The figures revealed GDP to be at 0.01%, essentially zero growth, continuing a period of economic stagnation. 👉This outcome raises questions about Labour’s pledge to make the UK the fastest-growing economy or whether this is just rearview mirror from the previous government. She highlighted key challenges facing the UK economy, including the lingering effects of post-COVID borrowing and inflation shocks from the Ukraine war. Helen also touched on the potential consequences of new tariffs announced by Donald Trump and what they could mean for the UK’s economic recovery.
