GMB, Britain’s general union, has responded to today’s official growth figures from the ONS by accusing the Government of bringing the UK to a ‘Juddering Halt’
The latest figures released today from the ONS showed flat GDP growth from August to October.
Jude Brimble, GMB National Officer said:
“The U.K. economy has come to a juddering halt, choked by a Conservative feel-bad factor.
“British manufacturing has been driven into reverse after years of government neglect, a damaging approach to Brexit and a complete lack of industrial strategy.”
“We need an immediate change of direction and a Labour government with a plan for the future of British manufacturing to provide much needed confidence, investment and jobs.”
Today's GDP figures confirm the weakest growth in a decade.

And looking at annual figures up to 2018, Britain’s recovery since the global financial crisis has been the slowest for more than a century.
