'I want better than the figures today': PM reacts to 0.1% GDP growth

[@zaedenuk]

Surprise, surprise taxing companies and individuals into oblivion doesn't materialise as growth for the economy. 😂

[@lightningleaf23]

Leaving the EU destroyed our trade with Europe and cost the economy billions that Labour have had to try and find ways to replace to fund public services.

[@xander6522]

Keir Stalin needs to remember that people voted against the Tories, not for the Labour Party.

[@ByddinRhyddidCymru]

But I thought an open border would bring unlimited growth?

[@CJones-99]

I know! I thought bringing in all the top doctors and engineers from war-torn france would help?!

[@VR46314]

This is why we hardly anyone voted , it’s the same old sh1te no matter which party is in charge

Amazing an interview with no mention on the 22 billion black hole .... terrible government

[@lesigh1749]

Oh they have moved on from that fiction. Too many people wanted proof it existed before labor got into office and gave billions away to two different trade unions and a raft of "carbon capture" investment scams.

[@DavidFletcher-b5n]

We are no longer a manufacturing nation so where is the growth going to come from I ask myself.

[@Karlemids]

3 trillion in debt and these clowns going on about fractions of a percentage

[@Maksimszz]

the growth is literally only going to come from the banks which are still under regulation, Not really a good look is it for our economy when our main stand-out is the banks....

[@jdizzle1779]

Growth will only come from government waste being reduced and taxes coming down. Labour and Tories aren't willing to take part in either.

[@DavidFletcher-b5n]

@ I agree too many civil servants time to stream line and look at reducing their pensions they may choose to work longer as in doctors and consultants.

Don't worry. Jam tomorrow. Always tomorrow.

​@akmalali4510 she was better than Labour in 1979, a true black hole and mess left by them, oops I forgot the mess left in 2010 too.

@@KingJ.B exactly. The least popular PM in polling history and the fastest drop in popularity of any new government ever. That’s quite some achievement.

[@janpetersen7440]

Starmer can probably make GDP grow by increasing government spending - but that in itself does not bring more welfare to the UK.

[@T5Zplayer]

[@ClydeB1]

I dont think Starmer gets it. The tide is turning all over Europe and the US. It's time for him to go, to leave, to resign in disgrace!

Lol. They likely fudged it just to have it as positive.

The coming months will be interesting because Labour are now in full responsibility.

[@tg92277]

Being responsible and accepting responsibility are two different things. We'll still be hearing about 14 years of the Tories from them at the next election

[@lightningleaf23]

@@tg92277like we heard they left a note about no money in 2024. The Tories left them a mess that they refused to deal with knowing they were going to loose and passed the problem on

[@colbr6733]

@@lightningleaf23 That was 2008, not 2024. In 2007-2008 the government paid out 137 billion pounds it hadn't planned for. Makes the 22 billion look small. Not a Conservative supporter just saying.

[@lightningleaf23]

@@colbr6733 that was to support banks following a global economic crisis. The debt in 2008 was 1.2 trillion or 80 percent of GDP it’s now 3 trillion and 101 percent of GDP. It’s now in a far worse position

[@Bungle-UK]

@@lightningleaf23the ‘global economic crisis’ was so bad in the UK because of Brown’s hand off regulation in the city. Labour created the conditions for it to happen then somehow wanted credit for mopping up their own mess. There’s a good reason why every Labour government we’ve ever had has left unemployment higher than it was when they came to power.

[@dondraper2488]

Keir Stasi has definitely done his fair share of docking in the closet….

[@colbr6733]

If he is still referring to the earlier proposed spending commitments from business, then there is no data that it is actually turning around.

[@robk7091]

Labour is not turning anything around those are the the results of the tories still coming through. Labour's effect will not be seen until well into the new year, after and not counting the natural retail boom of Christmas and the New Year's sales.....delusional

[@Jase29]

Inheriting a healthy economy to now crashing it. Can't blame Tories for this mess. Taxing everyone won't solve Starmer's economic problems 😂

No ! UK is not a sosialit Country ( foure nations ) and that the Executive Gov fosters anything relative to economic activity . The role of the gov is to create and maintain conditions for soustainable eco activity with , for instance , improving ties with the EU . 🇬🇧🇪🇺🙂🙏👏👏👏

If Starzi want better results he needs to appoint a trained economist and sack the accounts temp

[@bjl381]

The PM along with other senior ministers say that each MP should vote according to their own views on the subject of assisted dying - how about what their constituents feel? I thought that was what they were sent to parliament for!
