Has GDP growth come at the wrong time for Labour?

The broader story this morning paints a positive picture for the UK economy. While growth in June took a pause, growth in Q2 for this year is estimated to be 0.6 per cent, roughly in line with what markets were predicting, as forecasts for UK growth have been repeatedly revised upwards since the start of the year. Growth was 0.8 per cent in the three months to May, indicating the positive upward trend only paused at the start of the summer. This sounds like great news, but has it come at the right time for Labour?

Today we have also had A Level results and top marks have risen despite a return to pre-pandemic levels. What do the numbers say?

James Heale speaks to Farser Nelson and Kate Andrews.
