UK economy ‘slightly larger’ than previously thought after Q2 growth revised up; Greggs proposes 740 job cuts – business live

Revised UK GDP data shows another solid economic performance in the first half of this year This morning’s upgrade to UK growth in April-June is a boost to Andy Burnham, analysts say, even though he didn’t take office until almost a month later. Chris Beauchamp , chief market analyst at IG , says: “Still on a post-speech high, the upgraded figure is yet more good news for the UK’s still-new(ish) prime minister.

The PM’s stated trajectory is a rebuke to past Tory and Labour governments. The challenge now is to make his project progressive in word and deed As Andy Burnham delivered his conference speech to the Labour faithful yesterday, it was hard not to recall Jeremy Corbyn’s words after the party’s shattering 2019 election defeat. “I am proud that on austerity, on corporate power, on inequality and the climate emergency,” he wrote for this publication, “we have won the arguments and rewritten the terms of political debate.” Given Boris Johnson’s 80-seat majority, widespread mockery ensued. But when it comes to rhetoric, who can now deny that the left has won the argument? A Labour prime minister has declared that “Britain has been on the wrong path for a long time”, listing five villains: “Deindustrialisation, deregulation, privatisation, austerity, Brexit.” His speech was infused with class p
