"I imagine he will still be saying all this stuff in four years’ time, if Labour haven’t got rid of him. And all that will have happened is four years of economic stagnation. They’ve been in power for five months so far and all they have done is annoyed everyone and crashed the economy." Marginal growth is crashing the economy now? Amazing. | |||

" When they took over it was 0.5 growth now 0.1 growth. " Yes you do wonder how they fucked that up , when they had the opportunity to build on an improving economy. Instead Starmer and Reeves talked the uk down for three months, released scaremongering tax ideas. And this is the outcome. Then we find out Reeves isn’t actually an economist. | |||

"Oh dear, he is parroting Kemi Badenoch now, all rather embarrassing. If they believe in all this, why didn't the Conservatives do this in the 14 years they were in power? Kemi is engaging in opportunism again. I'm not sure I follow your line of thinking, Starmer has repeated Kemi Badenoch's phrase. What has that got to do with the last conservative government? If the Conservatives had a plan for reorganising government why didn't they do it in their last 14 years? Not too difficult to understand.
The tories ran out of ideas, labour have had years to work out a plan, seeing as we are starting from such a low bar.
Repeating phrases from the new Tory leader is about as good as it gets! The budget being a blow for business, the economy shrinking from growth, the WFA removal with no due diligence and an understood prospect of deaths from the removal, are some but not all of the underwhelming policies from an opposition that promised so much more, and had years to work it out.
Time to stop with the whataboutery and look at what a mess this newly elected government are making.
Can we get real here for a moment and stop quoting opposition sound bites?
UK gross domestic product (GDP) is estimated to have increased by 0.1% in Quarter 3 (July to Sept) 2024, following growth of 0.5% in Quarter 2 (Apr to June) 2024.
GDP is estimated to have increased by 1.0% in Quarter 3 2024, compared with the same quarter a year ago. O.E.C.D.
Business confidence is currently 99.38% and rising against a long term average of 100%. Hardly a catastrophic loss of confidence.
The WFA is still being paid to those that need it. We should not waste Tax income on people who are often better off than those paying the Tax.
We have come a long way from Starmer repeating what Kemi said, which he dis by the way...
You have pulled some figures out of the air, here are the actuals:
Business Confidence: The Lloyds Bank Business Barometer showed a decline to 41% in November, below the longterm average of 29%. Also, the Institute of Directors Economic Confidence Index fell to -65 in November, the lowest since Covid.
Your growth figures are wrong the growth was 0.1% which is contracting. The contraction would have gone negative if it wasn't for house price increases and professional service doing well. The NI shock has slowed down recruitment, the overpayment on public sector wages has also hit hard. I could go on but I will leave it there on figures.
Going back to that low bar the labour party had to simply improve on..... What's the plan other than Starmer repeating tory soundbites and throwing down some red meat tax rises to keep the socialists happy?
Check the OECD Business Confidence Index.
(https://www.oecd.org/en/data/indicators/business-confidence-index-bci.html)
Afterwards, please contact them and tell them they have "Pulled some figures out of the air" and ask them to cease and desist from doing so in the future because they do not suit your position on the matter. I am confident they will comply with your demands. "The OECD don't speak in terms of %. 100 is what they call average (not optimistic, nor pessimistic). Go back to the graph, filter it from the last year and then tell us confidence is currently rising (it only goes up to october). | |||

The BCI only measures manufacturing, and looking at the graph the confidence is above when covid hit and below every other month since. It is in fact below 100 which in their own words "Below 100: Reflects decreased confidence, implying that businesses expect a downturn or challenges ahead". You might now be thinking manufacturing is good enough for a forecast, but remember the confidence in that element is low and BCI focuses only on the manufacturing sector due to limited data availability in other sectors like construction, retail trade, and services among non-EU OECD member countries and non-member economies. The take away: in short it is not UK specific and only focuses on manufacturing across multiple countries. | |||
