UK growth 'slowest in almost a decade'

Getty Images

Even so, the economy has avoided recession after expanding 0.3% in the three months to the end of September. A statistician at the ONS said:"GDP grew steadily in the third quarter, mainly thanks to a strong July. As much as it would be a relief that a formal recession has been avoided, the picture is very sluggish, in keeping with what has been called a"slow puncture" economy.

But better than Germany, Italy.....

England is turning into a third world nation.

Wonder why

Of course. But look at the rest of the EU. We’re stagnant because of the market uncertainty over the Brexit impasse.

What you expect when the Gov spend all their time on disputing brexit

But its still growth...😏😏

Hardly surprising with the chaos that remainers have caused with their Quisling behaviour in our country. Their leaders should be held accountable for their treason!!

Three years uncertainty takes its toll. If an agreed Brexit gets done in January, three years of delayed investment decisions will get done. Economic growth will surprise on the upside. If decision delayed, look for a recession next year.

It’s ONS they can’t even report the date of Christmas

Yes but its still growth

And we haven't left yet....!!!!

Our growth has to be looked at agains France slightly better Germany worse than ours. While we are in EU we will be tied to a failing organisation

The Tories will not use this stat in their political campaign .

Oh I’m surprised at that !!! Ffs

What on earth do you expect? The way the UK is ATM I'm surprised we haven't shut down completely and gone home. Government messing about with the vote of the majority because it didn't get what it wanted.

Stop printing lies BBC.....

How long the Tories been in charge? Still Labour's fault though right?

That's because of the uncertainty caused by our prevaricating parliament.

Funny how the BBC can twist good news (prediction of a recession) into bad news during this election. Political axe to grind?

BBC headlines for you. In other news the economy grew in Q3 so much for the impending recession.

Rebounded.

Can believe! No one dare do anything till we have a brexit solution! One way or the other. Another referendum will make sure this keeps happening

So much for recession.

😩

Brexit - Putting the END in dividend.

The cost of Brexit

It's because of mass immigration. Immigrants don't spend money. Too tight.

Your frogs have been croaking for the last couple of years Britain. Not too inviting for a conversation. Ask America what they think?

Will someone please think of the children! 🤣

HK protestors set a civilian on fire, YouTube keep deleting this video, please spread it in order to let more people see how violence of “peaceful protesters” can be. HongKongProtest HKprotests

Thanks Farage

Nope... cant be true, I was told it's all just scare mongering.

Blame Brexit!
