Rishi can put any spin on it he likes but he can't deny the Tories have been in power for fourteen years now.

Quote:
The UK fell into recession in the second half of 2023, new figures show - we're answering your questions live.
GDP shrank by 0.3% in the last quarter of the year, following a fall of 0.1% in the previous three-month period.

GDP (Gross Domestic Product) is an important tool for judging how well an economy's doing.
One of PM Rishi Sunak's five pledges for last year was to "grow the economy"
But Chancellor Jeremy Hunt tells the BBC that when the commitment was made, Sunak was "very clear, tackling inflation had to come first"
Labour say Sunak "can no longer credibly claim his plan is working" and, with the Lib Dems, dubbed this "Rishi Sunak's recession"
