The cost of Labour is becoming clearer by the day. Sir Keir may believe Labour has 'fixed the foundations of the economy', says HUGO DUNCAN, but official figures show the opposite.
The latest decline in the UK economy - output fell 0.1 per cent in January - is the result of the Chancellor's disastrous anti-business growth-sapping Budget, writes HUGO DUNCAN.
The harsh reality is that the economy has flatlined since Labour came to power - crushed by the chancellor's gloomy rhetoric and business bashing Budget.
Crucially for the embattled Chancellor, UK borrowing costs edged lower on international bond markets having soared to 27-year highs, though the pound remains volatile, writes HUGO DUNCAN.
