@moving_charlie Hang on. 3 weeks ago we were told GDP had grown 0.6% in Q1 2026 and one factor in that growth was construction. This report says construction has been consistently dropping off a cliff with no respite.
GDP figures were clearly more ONS bullshit that will be quietly revised down

The OBR has admitted that its prediction that the British economy would expand by 2% in 2025 was "too optimistic", partially because it underestimated the negative impact of Rachel Reeves' decision to impose a large increase in employer NICs.
The amount of money the government is borrowing is also £60bn higher than the OBR predicted, which is truly shocking given the vast increases in taxes imposed by Labour.
@humantorch1036@JohnSlinger@LauraTrottMP Maybe you should tell the govt. Below we have the Education Sec claiming they’re 70% of the way to recruiting their 6500 extra teachers. The facts don’t match the rhetoric. John is my local MP and he regurgitates all the party slop, hence my last post.
🚨 NEW: Latest stats show we’re over 70% of the way to our target to recruit 6,500 teachers in the places they’re needed most.
We have 4,654 more teachers in those schools and colleges compared to 2024.
@AaronPDBisiaux@Tesco Waitrose have done the same. The app is now rainbow coloured for the whole month. I always thought June was my wife's birthday month. Given how much insight retailers have into our spending habits, its astonishing they can ignore the data and choose instead to vomit rainbows.
Let me categorically Debunk this utter rot. @sainsburys.
I am a poultry Breeder. The hens that lay white eggs (Amberline/White Star) DO NOT have a lower carbon footprint.
Yes they eat a bit less and produce roughly the same amount of eggs as the Brown egg layers (Bovan/Lowman/ISA Brown) but they live shorter lives, are prone to dying suddenly when startled, a flighty and nervous and because they live shorter productive lives (12 -18mnths) vs brown 18/24mnths (both commercial farmed), you have to incubate more which is increased (Electricity/gas costs) and their eggs are not the same quality.
I breed and keep 20+ different breeds, including: ISA Brown hens and White Stars. All my hens are 100% free range, Not a single barn kept bird, I have ISA browns that are 5yrs old and still laying beautiful Brown eggs, I have not seen a White star live beyond 3yrs and certainly none have laid eggs past 18-24mnths.
White stars Lay themselves to death. They are slender birds and because they dont eat a lot, it drains their personal vitality to keep up laying the eggs you want to sell because of the nonsensical lie that they are "More Carbon Neutral"
You want to know about eggs, come talk to someone like me, Don't rely on some hairbrained imagination of a buyer who's trying to squeeze the profit margin for a few extra pennies at our expense and to the poor hens detriment.
@BA305LFC@annamlulis Is that you primary thought? You don't feel sadness at the despicable way a young life was taken and let down by authorities. You simply worry how people will remember him. Maybe have a break from social media and take a long hard look at yourself.
