Britain’s GDP grew by just 0.3 per cent between April and June, down from 0.7 per cent the previous quarter. We’re told this is “better than expected”. Really? Is that the best we can do — celebrate mediocrity?
These aren’t the numbers of a confident, world-leading nation. The economy is growing, but only just. Businesses are paralysed, families feel stuck and everyday life shows it: littered streets, polluted rivers, unaffordable bills, energy costs still rising. There are moments it is hard to believe Britain is still a prosperous country. That is the true cost of politicians’ inaction — a country that feels like it’s standing still.
