In response to the latest quarterly GDP figures, Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said:

“Today’s figures are further proof that the UK economy will not get the growth we were promised until we reverse our historic levels of underinvestment.

“The figures also show that real household disposable income fell in 2025. Families up and down the country are getting poorer in real terms.

“We need to stop the rot and start delivering for everyday people.”
