Labour must get a grip or its entire economic plan could unravel
Jun 2025
By Simon French, Chief Economist and Head of Research
Twelve months on from Labour’s General Election landslide, it is a good time to ditch the slogans and soundbites – and I am afraid there will be plenty of those this week - and assess what the latest economic data says about Labour’s stewardship of the UK economy. From my standpoint their record is neither disastrous, nor dazzling. There is a credible argument that things could have been considerably worse given the structural challenges inherited from the Conservatives. Yet a series of policy missteps - some of them avoidable - have needlessly sapped momentum. In essence, Labour’s first year has been defined less by a transformative economic mission and more by steady progress, punctuated by damaging miscalculation.
The problem with economic data is there’s just too much of it

This is a column about the importance of high quality statistics. As such I offer an apology in advance as it won’t be everybody’s cup of tea. Times readers - when asked to consider the most pressing issues facing the UK economy - might cite global trade, oil prices, or the value of the US Dollar.
The UK is risking a debt, tax and austerity doom-loop

The cost for the UK government to borrow continues to cause headaches in Whitehall. Despite four interest rate cuts from the Bank of England, the interest rate on ten-year UK Gilts has risen from 4.2% to 4.6% since last year’s General Election. Push that debt out to thirty years and the interest rate for the UK government has gone from 4.7% to 5.4%. This is adding to annual debt servicing costs of £105bn – not far short of the entire public sector investment budget set to shortly be unveiled by the Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, in her first Spending Review.
