Chancellor Rachel Reeves has said she is “not satisfied” after official figures showed that economic growth slowed in the months after Labour won the election, and even contracted in September.

The UK economy grew by 0.1% between July and September, versus 0.5% growth in the previous quarter, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.
