The British economy is shrinking. Figures just released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show that GDP fell by 0.1 per cent in the three months to October. The contraction came after growth of 0.1 per cent in the three months to September. On a monthly basis, the economy shrank by 0.1 per cent in both September and October after remaining flat in August. Is growth really Labour’s priority? And what impact is all this doom and gloom having inside the party?

Lucy Dunn speaks to James Heale and Tim Shipman.

Produced by Oscar Edmondson.
