'Ark at Rachel from accounts, doing the accounts.

0.7% in Q1 but predicted by most forecasters to be 1% FY. The next quarter will take into account the emerging effects of Employers NI & Liberation Day. She needs in excess of 2% to stand still on public spending without further borrowing and taxes.

I don’t think I’ve heard you mention that before.
Mopping up the mess is a long process, step by step.

Didn't she inherit 0.9% growth?
RE: Growth - baggy1 - 05-15-2025
Even more impressive then Jacko, thanks for pointing that out. Getting positive growth on a positive growth number rather than a negative one is much more impressive.

She inherited an economy two quarters removed from a technical recession, are we going to pretend that the UK economy was in rude health in July 2024 or something?

That 2% thing.
You're probably moving the goalposts as usual - OBR was forecasting 0.6; Achieves delivered 0.7.
