UK Recession in 2026?

"BURNHAM: MY 10-YEAR UK PLAN" #PatrickMaguire / @StevenSwinford.bsky.social for @TheTimes.com #AndyBurnham will offer "tangible" improvements to help with cost of living as the first step in a ten-year plan to rewire #Britain's economy. #TheTimes #TomorrowsPapersToday

What's the betting that the words 'climate change' never leave Burnham's lips? Yet one more PM who hasn't the slightest inkling of the hammer blows to UK economy and society that extreme weather will bring in the next couple of decades www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

1/2 Skip Berry was a great Kentuckian who helped our economy grow and our people thrive. From engineering and construction to UK’s Board of Trustees, his church and community, Skip was always working to make an impact. He will be greatly missed.

With this and even bigger boost if the UK rejoined the EU, Burnham could set the UK economy alight. It's HIS CHOICE however. Prioritise fixing the NHS, rejoining the EU and kickstarting GREEN energy and we might still have a chance. If not, Reform Ltd beckons. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

There's a very obvious message to London and the South East about rebalancing the UK economy, which is that their homes are too expensive and the developments they currently get to try to resolve this aren't very satisfactory so more evenly spread opportunities is a massive win for them.

As UK healthy life expectancy is falling, please remember: “A healthy labour force is also the engine that powers our economy – it determines whether people can participate in employment, how effectively they work and how long they remain in the labour market,” says @healthfoundation.bsky.social

www.pv-magazine.com/2026/07/18/f... Why can’t UK do this..India’s journey from an import-dependent country to an integrated global solar manufacturer assures its self-sufficiency not only in the energy sector but also becomes a vital pillar of the global green economy.

I saw the claim this on BlueSky that the UK economy grew more during the 1970s than the 1980s and...sort of. In percentage terms, GDP grew more, but not in absolute terms. And the two fastest-growing years of the 70s were 1972 and 1973, when the Conservatives were in power. So not clear cut.

Burnham has chosen to elevate Blue Labour again, Shabana Mahmood is a dangerous authoritarian who’s being handed the power to crash the economy and ruin more migrant lives. UK Labour shouldn’t be a reactionary party, but this is what two leaders have chosen in a row.

Can someone remind me how the 90’s and 2000’s went for the UK economy?

£92 billion over 10-15 years seems low for an economy as big as the UK.

EU membership could recoup over 90% of the damage to UK economy from Brexit The research suggests that membership would deliver a 3.6% boost to the UK’s economy, equivalent to a £92bn increase in GDP in the long run. In just one year, British businesses could see a £43bn boost in global exports,

Bank of England: "Brexit has made UK economy 6% smaller than it would have been." Johnson: "Wrong. It's Labour." Presenter: "We were talking about the ten-year period." Johnson: "Yeah but – wealth creators!" The denial is strong with this one. 👀

Improving the tourism and leisure economy of the Falklands should be a priority. In terms of a peace dividend a leading golf tournament attracting sporting and other celebrities makes sense. Donations to veterans charity both UK and Argentinian a good idea? www.falklandislands.com/things-to-do...

There's fuck all point worrying whether the UK govt will or won't drill for oil. Before the Indy referendum in 2014 we were told the oil was running out and wouldn't provide the revenue to support an Indy Scotland. 12 years later and we're told it'll save the UK economy. Aye right.

Wonder what post-globalisation is going to mean for the multi-national firms that play a pretty major role in the UK economy
