ONS figures this morning show GDP remains unchanged since last quarter.
This may mean we have avoided a technical recession (two Qs of GDP contraction) but it can hardly said to be good news.
If (and its a big if) GDP is a reasonable aggregate measure of good political economic management, then this merely confirms what we all ready know #torychaos is costing us dear...
But to be frank, I'm not is sure GDP is such a great measure (ICYMI here are my thoughts on that)
