UK prime minister will be joined by Ukrainian president as he says Britain stands ready to ‘increase pressure’ on Russia if necessary
Rachel Reeves has said that Thursday’s GDP figures “show that the economy beat expectations in the second quarter of this year”.
Speaking at a construction site in Doncaster, the chancellor said “there’s still more to do to make sure that people in all parts of the country benefit” from growth.
We are the fastest-growing economy in the G7 for the first half of this year, with a GDP growth of 0.3% this quarter, and that’s after GDP growth of 0.7% the quarter before that.
I recognise there’s still more to do to make sure that people in all parts of the country benefit from that growth, but since the general election, when I became chancellor, the economy has grown by 1.2% and GDP per capita – so for every person in the country – GDP per capita is up by 0.7%.
