Starmer: GDP growth figures ‘nothing to celebrate about’
Sir Keir Starmer has said the latest economic growth figures were “nothing to celebrate” after UK gross domestic product (GDP) increased by 0.1% between January and March.
Speaking to broadcasters during a visit to the Crick Institute in central London, the Labour leader said: “This is nothing to celebrate and is yet more low growth on the back of 13 years of low growth. “I think the essential question many people today will be asking themselves is, ‘Do I feel any better off now than I did 13 years ago when this Government started?’
“I think the resounding answer to that around the country will be, ‘No, I don’t’.”
