Who's actually seeing this growth? | Bank taxes, the IFS's £35bn and the housing market
UK GDP grew 0.1% in August, and in the three months to August only the services sector grew. Marcus Ashworth and Michael Brown join Damian Pudner, Director of the Great British Think Tank, to ask who is actually seeing this growth and why the forecasters missed it. They cover reports of a higher bank surcharge before the 28 October Budget, the IFS's £35bn warning, the risk of an early election, a jump in US producer prices, China's export surplus, the AI shake-out, and a housing market where few lenders want new business.
