The lefties on reddit will most likely say this isn’t Labour’s fault.
Ok we get it! The UK is shite in many ways, now can we get back to mindless doom scrolling to avoid actually doing anything about it
Time for tax cuts and welfare cuts, scrap the scam that is green energy and drill the North Sea to make energy affordable again.
Waits for all the posts dumping on Labour for the damage that 15 years of Tory rule has inflicted on us all.
“One possible factor is the tone set by social media and the emotive doom-scrolling and rage magnets embodied in their algorithms. Is this demographic seeing the Mad Max-style dystopia presented on their social media feeds and responding with this negative outlook?”
Living standards have been declining almost 20 years
Apart from the 0.3% growth in UK GDP last month (3.6% annual), obvs…
Yup, keep protecting themselves wealthy and aristocracy. lol. Ooooo DONT tax them… lol
Our peers are France, Germany, Japan and Italy and we have faster growth than them all
Who’s our peers? Because we’re the second fastest growing economy in the G7
Get out Liebour!
You’ve crippled this economy!
You’ve crippled me and my family and my dreams as a young person!
You don’t represent the people anymore. People voted for you because we want tax cuts, yet you increase them higher than ever. You’re a disgrace. Some say anyone but Reform. I certainly don’t….
An yet our economic forecast for this year seems to be better than our peers.
Left-field idea to get the wealthy people to part with their money…
Open up a scheme where they can directly finance social community projects, and they get their name on a plaque out the front or it’s named after them.
We know America is heading for a recession and global liquidity had a huge pullback which lags. It would be silly to believe we’re doing well
I can’t up with going on. One minute ours performing very well against the others and then its then its languishing
Our productivity woes will never increase until we take action intended to improve productivity. That means: Massive, wholesale planning overhaul (not tweaks), reducing costs for businesses to research and adopt automation & tech (energy costs + taxes).
What the hell is this headline, it’s acting as if we are uniquely alone in the developed world for this when we clearly aren’t.
We’ve had a very similar GDP per capita PPP rate of change as most of our peers barring the us, Canada and Australia which are always weird outliers, and some other countries that have much lower GDP per capita PPP than us anyway and are just catching up.
revaluate the taxation and insurance system and ditch the green energy and go back to the oil and gas fields in the north sea.
Tories legacy..reform will make it far far worse but people won’t understand until it’s too late..like Brexit.
To be fair, stagnating is better than the free fall we were in for about 10 years
How are we going to deal with our ageing population?
We are forecast to spend £177.8 billion on benefits for pensioners in 2025-2026, and by 2050 the dependency ration will be two workers to one pensioner.
Taxes are too high, regulations too onerous, benefits too generous
Hurts, but there’s the truth
GDP is widely understood now to be a pretty poor indicator of living standard change – particularly in an economy like the UK which has extremely high inequality. Not to mention population grown outstripping productivity growth. So even our laughable GDP ‘increase’ should be treated with a healthy dose of scepticism regarding any general indications of impact on living standards.
