Labour doommongering shown to be baseless, yet again.

It's slowed.

if 0.8% is above inflation, then its better than nothing. If it isn't, then it actually represents a shrink in the economy.

i dunno. MY DH has had quite a few job interviews (after a whole load of nothing during the year) so there may be something in it - the optimism isn't just a political creation.

0.8% is a slowing of growth
'twas 1.2% in the previous quarter.

It actually just said that it's gone down 'slow economic growth' and a double dip recession is predicted
it'll be in the news tomorrow as that was an online forecast

Well, a) 0.8% is not really "very strong" growth, and b) the crippling economic policies announced recently by the coalition have yet to have an effect in the real economy.

I predict a double dip recession as the result of the coalition assault on aggregate demand, and will be reviving this thread just to say "I told you so" in 3-6 months.
