Labour: 0.1 percent growth in economy is pretty feeble
Luke Pollard says the 0.1 percent growth in the UK economy is "pretty feeble".
The shadow armed forces minister adds there has been "no stability" under the Conservatives and that Labour would "motor the economy" and "create growth in every single part of the United Kingdom".
But Chancellor Jeremy Hunt says the latest ONS figures are "proof" the country is "turning a corner".
