Bridget Phillipson – 2021 Comments on Latest GDP Figures

The comments made by Bridget Phillipson on 9 July 2021.

After causing the UK to experience the worst economic crisis in the G7, the Conservatives should be getting the economy powering on all cylinders. Instead, this morning’s growth data shows how fragile the UK’s economic recovery is.

Instead of the Conservatives’ failure to secure the recovery, Labour’s plan to buy, make and sell more in Britain would mean seizing new opportunities to shape a new future for Britain. This would give people new skills and jobs here in the UK, bring security and resilience back to our economy and public services and help our high streets to thrive again.
