Well, we are out of it now with 0.6% growth in the first quarter of 2024

Q1 2024 growth figures for major European countries:

Spain 0.7%
UK 0.6%
Netherlands 0.4%
EU 0.3%
Belgium 0.3%
Italy 0.3%
France 0.2%
Germany 0.2%

A quarter can only ever be a snapshot, but looking at the last six months we've grown at the exact same rate as the EU as a whole, the same rate as France, slightly below Italy, well below Spain, interestingly, a little above Netherlands and well above Germany.

Nothing to write home about perhaps, but all those predictions, all those stories about the UK having a crashed economy or being a basket case etc. It's largely nonsense.
