4.1% when the tories left office. 4.4% under Labour. Even noseall can figure out that 0.3% rise in unemployment is not the growth Labour are meant to be delivering.

Consumer confidence up since Labour govt took power

The latest Deloitte Consumer Tracker shows that UK consumer confidence remains close to its highest level in five years

"With consumer confidence close to its highest level in five years, consumers in our survey reported increased levels of spending in both essential and discretionary categories. The data shows net spending on discretionary goods and services rose for the third consecutive quarter in Q4 after moving into positive territory in the second half of 2024 for the first time since Q3 2021"

The Deloitte Consumer Tracker

Consumer confidence shows modest improvement however, sentiment about the UK economy has hit a two-year low.

Always good to read it.

However, after recovering for two years, the lack of improvement in the overall index in Q4 points to consumers being nervous about the UK economy following the budget including how higher taxes on businesses might impact their income and prices at the till. Consumers’ view on the state of the economy in the UK dropped by 14 percentage points in Q4 compared with Q3.

And 4% this time last year. What point are you attempting to make? Unemployment is going up and the layoffs have only just started.

What’s funny is that if I tell of a personal experience, they are shouted down and told that it’s either a lie or that it doesn’t count. I’ll just wait for that to happen to you. I won’t hold my breath though…..

Unemployment is going up

It can’t be if vacancies are going up.

Increases in employment lag behind vacancy increases, so the trend is down

Local supermarkets are all ( 4 of the big ones anyway) openly advertising for staff.

All the local parts delivery people are openly advertising for staff.

None of the business I deal with have laid any staff off, and most are complaining that they can't find people to fill vacancies.

Haven't seen any big announcements about big companies laying off people that was threatened.

All anecdotal I know

About 'anecdotal' evidence? Quite a few.

It’s not big companies. See post #210. Non anecdotal. In the news.
