The UK economy showed a growth of 0.7% in the first quarter and 0.6% in the second, marking a return to more normal levels after recent crises.
Darren Jones stated, 'Growth is our first and most important mission here at the Treasury, but we've got much, much more work to do to recover from the mess.'
Despite growth, the government faces challenges with a 'fiscal black hole' identified by Chancellor Rachel Reeves, necessitating cuts or savings for the upcoming Budget.
The UK's growth has surpassed that of the G7 economies in 2024, raising questions about the economic conditions inherited by the current government.
