Rolling coverage of the latest economic and financial news, including the UK GDP report for July

Here’s Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rishi Sunak on the 6.6% jump in GDP in July. “While today’s figures are welcome, I know that many people are rightly worried about the coming months or have already had their job or incomes affected. That’s why supporting jobs is our first priority and why we’ve outlined a comprehensive Plan for Jobs to ensure nobody is left without hope or opportunity.

This during a lockdown / restricted movement. Schools closed / limited to keyworker children. It appears the economy had taken 4 months to adjust to lockdown. By the sounds of it, it would have increased further. So, schools didn't have to return. bloodofthenationonyourhands

2 months of major growth, +8% and +6%, that recovery is looking very V shaped now...! 👍👍

No acidic comment Guardian ?

A boxer gets up off the canvas to be helped out of the ring.

On the verge of lockdown 2. Just give us a break from pointless gdp propaganda and get a grip.

COME ON GUARDIAN SAY SOMETHING ABOUT COLOMBIA! IT SHOULD BE YOUR FRONT PAGE!

6% climb from the depths of hell, oh, Great news.

Trump 2020

That’s like saying Trump’s wealth grew by $999 million. But that still doesn’t make him a billionaire.

Don’t be ridiculous. It’ll shrink again this month after the new restrictions

Not good enough

Fringe-right MAGA seems pretty content with these: Millions of Americans out of work, high unemployment%, 30+million uninsured during a pandemic, 190K+ COVID19 deaths, racial unrest, a ruined economy, corrupt government. Voters cannot stomach 4 more years of Trump! VoteHimOut
