Rishi Sunak: UK economy 'getting healthier every week', says prime minister

Rishi Sunak has told Sky News that although there is "more work to do", wages in people's pay packets are rising, taxes are falling and that people will feel "we're starting to turn a corner".
He told Sky News' Ed Conway that inflation had fallen from 11% when he was elected - and the economy was "performing beyond all expectations".

Get rid of this god awful government. I fail to understand why this guy is still employed by us given the ridiculous waste of taxpayers money that was bounce-back loans. Any normal employee would be sacked for gross misconduct for that alone! I cannot even listen to his voice now.

Just had to fall !? Tell that to Argentina

[@TheLukeLambert]

@@nishie1 There are four different types of economies, as stated by mostly all economists: Developed economies, Undeveloped economies, Argentina and Singapore. The last two are outliers, Singapore had every reason to fail and massively succeeded despite overwhelming negative factors. Argentina failed spectacularly when it has everything it should've needed to join very well developed economies. Equating Argentina to literally any other country is nothing more than an apples and oranges point of view...

Exactly. The only people this will effect are the multi-millionaires in the top 1%. For the rest of us, we'll be lucky to see any improvement before inflation obliterates it. Sick of spreadsheet economists, if these people went outside and actually looked at the state of the country, they'd realise their economic models mean nothing.

Of course it would be him and not the chancellor. He’s struggling politically and thinks more presence will help him seem more there and safe pair of hand (which he’s wrong).

[@whackeryounis]

never understood when any gov claims "wages are rising"... like, when does that ever translate to an immediate increase in pay. Every hourly job I had, pay was reviewed yearly and salaried positions was dependent on company. It's just the message if it is weird to me because no one will see that then suddenly see an increase in their pay. I guess he does becomes he lives off interest🤨
