Tories claim chancellor will be ‘fuming’ at GDP figures
Former Conservative cabinet minister Laura Trott welcomes the latest economic figures that show GDP was at 0.6% from April to June but claims Rachel Reeves will be “fuming”.
The shadow chief secretary to the treasury insists “this is yet more data to undermine (the chancellor’s) narrative that her economic inheritance is bad”.

The shadow business secretary has called on Chancellor Rachel Reeves to "change course quickly", after new ONS figures show inflation increased to 2.6% in November. Andrew Griffith adds all the major economic metrics, such as inflation and growth, "are going in the wrong direction", and fears what four years of a Labour government will do to the UK economy.

Rachel Reeves says she can understand why women affected by changes to the state pension age will feel "disappointed", but adds that paying an "expensive compensation bill" was not the best use of taxpayers' money. Campaigners say the government's decision not to compensate women affected by changes to the state pension age, and their communication of these changes, are "bizarre and totally unjustified". But the chancellor says the ombudsman has reported that around 90 percent of women knew the changes were coming. Report by Brooksl.
