Fractions of a % out of recession and could easily dip similar amounts next time figures are produced, Compare with the general 2% when things were "ok". Strangely similar to inflation at the time. Currently a stuttering economy running close to no growth at all.
Bad news - when looked at from a productivity point of view things don't look good at all even with more in work.
Inflation falling. Well if currency remains stable it always does. Prices falling is another matter, BofE influence things and have made a good job of handling their debt. Inflation looked at per sector still is not that good in some areas.
I don't care that much about peoples political feelings but do think they should relate to reality rather than make silly noises about performance. Also when external problems crop up cease blaming the gov in power. Self created ones are totally different eg Truss - chasing an idea based on Singapore's set up and success over many years while all the time we have been going in the opposite direction.
