Economy finds reverse gear in January with surprise contraction
news.sky.com
The chancellor signals that rising global challenges are to blame for renewed pressure on the UK's output as critics urge her to change course on looming tax hikes on business to shore up growth.

No you disgusting little troll, the economy shrinking is not because of ”rising global challenges” it’s because of your anti-growth and anti-business budget.

She needs to resign before she causes irreversible damage to the UK.

      Such a long stream of bullshit.

      blame her for the pathetic 0.4% growth in December.

      0.4% growth in a single month is not pathetic, that’s great. Do that every month and you have nearly 5% yearly growth - absolutely unheard of for a developed economy. On what planet is 0.4% in a month pathetic?!

      She inherited the fastest growing economy in the G7

      We had a temporary increase after a recession. That’s not sustained growth. Conservatives didn’t suddenly crack how to enable permanent explosive growth.

      businesses are firing the lowest paid staff and curbing their new hires as a DIRECT RESULT of the disastrous budget

      No they are not. The fabled mass unemployment after the budget never materialised.

      Businesses rated the UK as the second best country to invest in after the budget. The facts don’t seem to be lining up with your opinion.

      Not to mention pensioners going hungry to be able to afford to heat their homes

      Nope. Not only are their pensions going up by a huge amount, the WFA is means tested. Poorer people still get it. The wealthy don’t.

      They are planning on sending more SEND children to mainstream schools

      Probably for the best. The current solution is rubbish. My nephew has to travel two hours each school day, in a private taxi, because that’s the only suitable SEND school for him. That’s an insane system. It would be much better to restructure the system for more local support.

      They are removing our rights to free-speech.

      Arresting people for inciting violence is a good thing.

      God your whole comment is full of such nonsense misinformation. Stop. You’re not convincing anybody.

      Imagine actually thinking that Labour are damaging the country more than the Tories did. Christ on a bike. If you put your brain in a cat’s body, you’d bark.

          Facts are lefty propaganda now…

          The far right are the people living in a bubble separate from reality.

          And imagine being someone who likes star trek enough to have a reference to it in their username, yet be far right. Incredible lack of perspective.
