TalkTV presenter Mike Graham had his say on the crushing update about the economy, leaving himself in stitches as he criticises Keir Starmer
Mike Graham laughs as UK economy flatlines in July
Mike Graham brutally criticised Keir Starmer in a savage takedown after it was revealed that the economy had flatlined. In a crushing blow to the Prime Minister, the TalkTV host laughed at the news that the UK recorded 0% economic growth in July, amid Keir Starmer announcing ‘Phase Two’ of the Government. As the news was delivered, Mike chuckled: “Zero growth! Zero! Nothing. We could go on, like a Monty Python sketch. It’s pretty much stagnated.”
One person who viewed it at home said in the comments: “Is anyone actually at all surprised by this, actually I am I really thought you would be announcing a loss. Because if the figures weren’t fiddled. You can bet the real answer here is recession for the UK in less than 18 months. Some record Labour.”
A second person also chimed in: “This government is just a joke, the worst that we’ve ever had and we are all suffering for it. Stand down and let a proper party govern please!”
A third also quipped: “That made me laugh … thanks for cheering me up Mike.” A fourth similarly said: “National treasure is our Mike. No messing around, just truth bombs.”
This announcement will be grim news for Chancellor Rachel Reeves and will raise plenty of questions about Labour’s promise to kickstart the economy.
A Treasury spokesperson said: “We know there’s more to do to boost growth, because, whilst our economy isn’t broken, it does feel stuck. That’s the result of years of underinvestment, which we’re determined to reverse through our plan for change.”
Meanwhile, ONS director of economic statistics, Liz McKeown, said: “Growth in the economy as a whole continued to slow over the last three months. While services growth held up, production fell back further.
“Within services, health, computer programming and office support services all performed well, while the falls in production were driven by broad-based weakness across manufacturing industries.”
