Recent economic data indicates a minor growth of only 0.1% in January, leading to criticism of Labour's handling of the economy. Tory leaders blame Labour for low business growth and assert that government policies are detrimental to economic vitality. While manufacturing and construction face downturns, retail services show growth, hinting at a mixed economic recovery. Figures are a source of embarrassment for Chancellor ahead of the Spring statement. Experts stress the importance of global trade relations and UK exporters' support, particularly in context of tariffs and international negotiations.
"The economy shrank a little in January but grew in the latest three months as a whole, with the overall picture continuing to be of weak growth."
"Labour is trashing our economy... Starmer and his government are choking the life out of business. Why? Because they don't that government doesn't create growth, business does."
