The claim

An MP listed a series of economic statistics in a social media post, followed by the phrase “in other words it’s a ‘recession’”. The post read: “Buyers Remorse Anyone? UK growth 1.1% in first half of 2024, 0.1% second half. Since the election inflation up, unemployment up, growth snuffed out by big tax rises on jobs and business. In other words it’s a ‘recession’.”
