It's official: the UK is no longer in recession. The figures out today show the economy grew by a higher rate than most economists expected - 0.6% in the first quarter of this year. (Subscribe: bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
It was enough for the Prime Minister to claim that "things are starting to feel better", but Labour insist low growth is not cause for gratitude.

I foresee a recession lasting 2-3 years, and if inflation continues to surge, the Federal Reserve will likely raise interest rates soon. Inflation is causing various issues worldwide, such as food shortages, scarcities of diesel and heating fuel, and significant spikes in housing prices, leading to a potential financial market crash. This global downturn could have long-lasting repercussions. Given the current inflation rate of approximately 9%, my main worry is how to optimize my savings and retirement fund, which has remained stagnant at around $300,000, yielding almost no gains for quite some time.
Numerous opportunities exist to achieve substantial profits at present, but executing high-volume and nearly flawless trades requires the expertise of real-time professionals with an ISDA Agreement. This agreement allows investors to participate in sophisticated trades, exclusive to seasoned individuals, and unavailable to amateurs. Attempting to be a high-stakes trader without an ISDA is akin to trying to win the Indy 500 riding a llama.
I'm sure the idea of an invstment-Adviser might sound controversial to a few, but a new study by Motley-fool found out that demand for Financial-Advisers sky-rocketed by over 42% since the pandemic and based on firsthand encounter I can say for certain their skillsets are topnotch. I've accrued north of 580k within 16-months from an initially stagnant Portf0lio worth 85k.
Inflation is over 10% here in the UK, but as we know it's definitely way more than the Government would like to admit. My plan is to earn more passive income and ride this out, can your Investment-adviser assist?
Certainly, there are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’Melissa Terri Swayne” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive.She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
She appears to be well-educated and well-read. I ran a Google search for her name and came across her website; thank you for sharing.
And overnight my riches increased, all my worries disappeared and I no longer cared about bills. What a joke this country has become. As long as the rich get ridiculously richer.
Were the ones who allow it to continue
@SugaaShani speak for yourself 🤓 🖕
Name me a Country were the rich get poorer😂
UK economy might be growing, but people's living standards are getting worse.
true
I smell bullshit every time I hear Jeremy Hunt speak
When ever i hear anyone speak
The whole parliament stinks. Guy please!
All members of Parliament and Bank of England same
@chrisviking7807 they smell like what I have just flushed
Some say Hunt is thick as mince.
It's definitely not the end of the recession. I love it when rich people decide when times are tough or not.
Do you know what a recession means? It's very clearly defined
@@neurokith you don't have a clue
@@reallymakesyouthink What do you mean? I'm pretty sure I do know what a recession means and I very much understand being broke. Are you just assuming I'm rich? Idk why you think I'm clueless, I'd like to know why tbh
Tough=recession 👍
Productivity per person has gone up by 0.2% and that has been skewed towards the rich, the recession continues for most of us.
What a pathological liar!!!😢😢😢
true
This is election talk😂
Weird how they turn on the "grow the economy" switch just in time for an election. Couldn't you have flicked that switch 14 years earlier?
They’ve had 14 years!
Wait. How is it getting harder and harder to get things through planning permission, yet it’s just as hard as it was when they started 15 years ago?
It could have gotten easier, then became harder?
Rich poor divide ever growing. Tories looking after themselves and the elite.
End to recession? Have you bought groceries lately?
Or paid energy bills?
@@momurda6 UK Energy Bills ⬆ Wholesale UK gas prices ⬇.
I read about it. It's good news, but I wonder how it will affect our investment portfolios. Any thoughts?
Well, with the economy growing, there could be opportunities for higher returns, but it also means increased volatility in the market.
That's true. We might see some sectors performing better than others. It's essential to review our portfolios and make adjustments accordingly.
I think diversification will be key here. Investing in a variety of assets can help spread the risk and capture potential gains from different sectors.
You're not doing anything wrong; the problem is that you don't have the knowledge needed to succeed in a challenging market. Only highly qualified professionals who had to experience the 2008 financial crisis could hope to earn a high salary in these challenging conditions.
Recently, I've been considering the possibility of speaking with consultants. I need guidance because I'm an adult, but I'm not sure if their services would be all that helpful.
And asking him if he can be honest is ridiculous, his head would explode if he tried to be!
Absolute B/S
The high rate of inflation during the 2020s means that we're still much worse off.
Recession is Uk's middle name.
I live on minimum wage in London and I can assure Hunt is talking bs. We have a very hard life just to get by.... The healthcare is non existent, I had a thyroid problem and I had to go abroad to get it checked...
Minimum wage in London?? I feel for you. Hope your thyroid problem gets better too.
Get out of London or improve yourself
😂😂😂 a few builders isn't convincing anyone. Stop it.
Makes no difference to their fortunes.bye tories.
What an absolute load of bollox 😂😂😂😂😂
Recession over? For the rich maybe but they weren't exactly struggling were they? What about the rest of us?
What a Jeremy Hunt.
The demise of England is inevitable. No promo commercial can try to claim otherwise.
Yup 🚗 house 💸 bills and lastly food £7 for 🍗 chip 🤦🏾♂️
According to a Kremlin bot?😂😂😂
People used to be able to buy a house and raise a family on one wage. Now you can barely do it with two wages. House prices are massively overpriced .
Feminism ie 2 workers per house doubled the amount banks would lend and increased the cost of housing.
@@gavloftChildren growing up without male role models in 'progressive' - my children are out of control Britain. Men replaced by food banks. Who feeds children / pays bills if government goes broke?.
Exit recession when interest rate is still at 6%……? Hahahahahha……. You must be dreaming…… More pain is coming.
Can someone explain to me the math and formula why high interest rate can make living cost cheaper?
Look, mummy, a unicorn flying. It's 50% bigger than the one we saw last year!
Listen to my people Ukraine is in a war and the Houses are cheaper than in the UK now the UK is third world country
And better dental care
Houses are cheaper because Ukraine is alot poorer
@@leehenry5764 Ukranians living in Britain return home to visit their GP!.
It's really positive to hear good news for a change! Here is hoping things will continue to improve from here on in
Too much emphasis is put on GDP development, up or down. National debt, inflation, employment, standards of living vs. similar nations...
They are just talking nonsense no body feels better off
France attracted more foreign investment than the UK!
true investments with the money not with the promises like in UK
@@quwipyui6519 UK high streets turning into one giant international money laundering scam.
Fault of brexit why economy is doing better than it should.
Maybe the UK can switch to the Reichsmark, too?
Or the euro
@@haruhisuzumiya6650 Or get rid of fiat currency altogether, chipping compliant muppets in anything goes digital gulag.
As a business I can tell, since Sunak passed on tv yesterday saying that the UK economy is growing fast, all my worries and struggle for bills are now out. Long live the conservative. So our economy grows quick, more than France,... we also comes drom further down than France,... So at one point we need to grow. Well done tories.
In the end it will be a competition between prices, which can increase the most. He will win the price that no one can pay anymore. #
End of recession ? I wasn’t aware that the deep 1930’s esq depression was over….
Awesome
Sounds very much like everywhere else.
BS!
Top forklift driver 💪🏼
Hunt is a clown and this is all Smoke and mirrors, the UK is clearly not of recession
End of recession... as if
This time next year under skidmark Starmer, he won’t have a job!
Tories: "We are standing slightly less firmly on your necks this week." Yawn.
My carrots grow faster. 50% of gdp is Gov spending 30% of that is debt spending.
Thumbnail bro be like a stock image of himself
The population is growing (due to mass immigration) and the GDP per person is dropping to amazingly low value. This is the news. The country is in a mess and the majority of citizens are becoming poorer.
Muslims needs houses get out from your house and give it for Muslims for free you can live on the streets
The decrease in gdp per person has nothing to do with Population growth.
@@Toodyslexicforyou If we had the current GDP and only half of the current population we would be both more productive as a nation and more prosperous. Is my understanding. Please correct me if I am looking at this wrong.
People stop investing in things they don't feel connected to.
@@Dont_Be_Ridiculous Yes, I agree. Perhaps the genie is out of the bottle, never to return.
Yeah but take a look at the GDP per capita figures, no better than 2007.
Us had 1.6% gdp increases 2024
Prospects improve even more once the Tories get thrown out & kept out for atleast a generation
I am your sister from Yemen, and by Allah I only spoke out of hunger and distress. My mother, my brothers, and I lessons and tears. We are in a situation that only God knows about. God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs for those who brought us to this situation. By Allah Almighty, I did not write this appeal out of distress and distress. Poverty, O world, they have felt it So, I hope for you. By Allah Almighty, Lord of the Great Throne, he ate what I had in the house. By Allah, my brothers, he is my brothers by sitting in the house. Who has no food? By God, we are in a very difficult situation. We have 4 people entering the house, and my father has died, and there is no one who can depend on us and who lives in it.We live in a rented house because we cannot pay the rent we owe. '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''' My brother, my first words are: I swear to Allah on the Book of God that I will not lie to you, nor deceive, nor deceive. I am a Yemeni girl displaced from Taiz. My family and I, Ait Al-Shahrb, have 20,000 Yemenis among us, and now we owe 60,000 for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of the people who does not have mercy, by God, my brother. He comes every day, insulting us, talking about us, and moving from the house to the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. The neighbors saw us crying and came back.They came back to talk to the neighbors and we were given the weekend. So we made him swear by God. He will take us out into the street. Have mercy on him and us. Our country is due to this war and we do not find food for our day, and my brothers and I live in a difficult life. Our father died, may God have mercy on him, and we have no one in this world who was with us in these harsh circumstances. My younger brothers went out into the street and saw...The neighbors eat and stand at their door in order to give them bread even if they break it. By God, to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, they closed the door and expelled them and came back crying. They are dying of hunger. No one has mercy on them and a holiday is returned. I have made a living, and now if one of us helps us with a kilo of flour, I swear to God, I am dying of hunger. My brother, I am an alien to God. Then, I ask you to help me for the sake of God. I ask you, by God, to love goodness and to help me, even if you can, by messaging me on WhatsApp.On this number 00967717354582 and ask for the name of my card and send it and do not be late and may God reward you with all the best, my brothers Sagar, see how they are and help us and save us before they throw us out in the street, you will be lost or we will die of hunger. My family and I ask you, by God, if you are able to help us, do not be late and may God reward you well.`/--~~« ««~~♡~♡~♡~~•~•~♡~♡~♡~~♡~♡~♡~♡♡♡~~~~: ~: ~! ~! ~! ~;I.i.i.i.i.i.i.I.☪️☪️☪️☪️☪️☪️☪️😢😢
