The Independent remains committed to delivering quality journalism on pressing issues like reproductive rights, economic growth, and climate change without paywalls. Recent figures revealing a 0.7% boost in the UK economy have drawn attention, with Labour leaders claiming a victory in economic performance compared to other G7 countries. However, economists caution that these numbers might be misleading due to temporary production boosts. The Independent highlights the importance of ongoing efforts to ensure economic resilience amidst global uncertainties.
Economists cast doubt on the 0.7 percent boost to Britain's economy in the first three months of the year, saying the figures were artificially inflated.
Rachel Reeves and Sir Keir Starmer hailed the figures but said there is more work to do in promoting economic growth for the UK.
