UK economic growth slowed between July and September relative to the previous quarter, according to official data, in a blow to Chancellor Rachel Reeves. The economy grew by 0.1% over the period, versus 0.5% growth between April and June, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.
The estimate was behind economist predictions of 0.2% and comes after Labour unveiled a rise in Government spending and business taxes in the Autumn Budget last month.
