UK Crisis Deepens - Joe Blogs [View all]



The UK economy has flatlined — with GDP showing no growth in July. After a small bounce in June, momentum has stalled again, raising serious questions about the health of Britain’s economy.

In this video we’ll break down:

• Why GDP has stagnated
• The latest data on exports, imports and the trade balance
• The continuing fight against inflation and the cost of living squeeze
• Weak business investment and its long-term impact
• Rising bond yields and the pressure of servicing UK debt

With the autumn budget approaching, the government faces a huge challenge: how to get the economy moving without risking higher inflation or piling on more debt.
