Of course our economy shrank in January. This morning's headlines just confirm what has been blindingly obvious to all of those at the coal face of business and commerce for months. The fact they didn't see this coming raises yet another question of doubt on Rachel Reeves'

The UK economy is still on life support. The Chancellor’s Spring Budget speech was little more than an exercise in make believe. The government's position is built on forecasts which are pure fantasy. Indeed: - The Office for Budget Responsibility has downgraded growth to just
