There’s nothing like a budget that inspires confidence and this budget was nothing like a budget that inspired confidence.
So that’s pensioners, farmers, house buyers, private schools, high street businesses and those that work in them that the government have hit. So far. Doing well aren’t they?

UK economy growth forecasts slashed for next two years
The economy will grow much more slowly than previously thought until 2025, the government's forecaster says.
www.bbc.co.uk
According to the watchdog, the UK will grow by 0.6% this year - considerably better than what it expected last autumn, when it predicted the economy would fall into recession and shrink.
However, it slashed its growth outlook to 0.7% in 2024 and 1.4% in 2025 - down from a previous forecast of 1.8% and 2.5%.

You missed out "the wealthy"
Yeah. I deliberately left you out, thought it would still be a sore point for you.You missed out "the wealthy"
That 0.1% is last quarter which ends Sept. The ONS report goes into a lot of detail and puts the earlier figures down to wage increases.

The figure may be updated for a couple of months ahead but is usually pretty close.
You could also look at the monthly figures where you will see growth is flat since Sept 22 with a bit of an increase in Sept 24.
