The economic plan put in place by Rachel Reeves to raise investment and cut the deficit is working. - start of 2026 was fastest GDP/capita growth in 4yrs - Q1 GDP growth fastest of 6 G7 nations we have data for - UK has seen the fastest investment growth in G7 since election

A very strong start to 2026 -significantly above forecasts. GDP/capita rose 0.6% in first three months of 2026 (OBR expected gdp/capita to grow by 0.8% in 2026 as a whole) www.ons.gov.uk/economy/gros...

The plan means it’s not just NHS waiting lists falling - so is the deficit. And this matters if you care about spending on schools not debt interest. Under the last Conservative government the UK borrowed above the G7 average in every single year. This year? We will borrow less.

And where is the Labour comms on this? Always muted, always buried.

Of course, today’s data only includes the start of the Iran conflict. It inevitably has consequences for UK households & our economy as a whole. There is no hiding from that. Understanding that reality is partly why we have refused to support this conflict as other parties did
