Ironically the UK's GDP growth in February was 0.5%, much higher than the previous month, and would have be pretty helpful to Rachel Reeves' narrative of recovery.... if only the Tangerine Tyrant & Benjamin Netanyahu hadn't decided to attack Iran & plunge the world into an economic crisis.

Given the UK is expected (by the IMF) to be the worst hit of the major economies, that spurt of growth will have been snuffed out - no wonder Rachel is ranting at Donald!
