The UK economy grew by 0.3% during the first quarter of 2015, the Office for National Statistics said today. The pace of growth was half the 0.6% rate seen in the final quarter of 2014 and the weakest quarterly growth since the end of 2012.
Responding to today's disappointing economic figures, the shadow Chancellor Ed Balls said that the Conservatives "have not fixed the economy for working families".
He said: “Tory economic policy may be helping a few at the top but for most people bills have gone up faster than wages, which are down £1600 a year since 2010.
"The Tories just don’t understand that Britain only succeeds when working people succeed."
