Chancellor Rachel Reeves has been put under further pressure ahead of next month’s Budget after official figures showed muted growth in August following a surprise contraction in July.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said gross domestic product (GDP) rose by 0.1% month-on-month in August and fell by 0.1% in July, in a revision to the previous estimate for no growth.
The Telegraph’s Annabel Denham joins Talk’s Mike Graham to discuss this further.
