Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves: "Today's GDP figures are disappointing. "
Ms Reeves posted to X:
Today's GDP figures are disappointing.
However, I'm determined to turn the economy around so it works for working people once again.
That's why we are building 1.5 million homes, creating the National Wealth Fund and reforming our pensions market to make Britain better off.

John Redwood took to X to ask the Chancellor to explain why growth has plunged from 1.2% to just 0.1%:
What is the Chancellor’s explanation for U.K. growth plunging from 1.2% in the first half of 2024 to just 0.1% in the third quarter? The U.K. went from fastest to slowest in the G7 under the new government.
