Manufacturing output down by 0.2% alongside flatlined UK economy | Liam Halligan reports
UK economic growth was flat in February according to new GDP figures, but manufacturing output -a key part of the levelling up agenda was down 0.2%.
So, did Chancellor Jeremy Hunt’s recent Budget help or hinder efforts to “level up” the UK?

Watch as Will Kensington expresses concern about the state of the UK, arguing that Downing Street is no longer a place of power but has instead become Britain’s most expensive Airbnb.
This comes as Andy Burnham is set to become the UK’s seventh Prime Minister in a decade, with seemingly no one challenging the “King of the North” for the country’s top job.

What a surprise. Anothr brexit fallout thanks
Actually i get so mad with brexit and peopel who voted of it. Our whole economy is tanking in a way predicted. Selfishly what bothers me most is the way NHS is disappearing because of it before our eyes. Paid in all my life – happy to – and never needed it thanfully. Now facing old age I likely will need it soon enough – and there will be likely nothing there. One sale of house later for a singel op and there I am – waiting for the next health issue with no home and no hope. Bleakness awaits us all I suppose. And all because UK electorate went right wing. But I didn't and I feel mad about those who chose the path of self harm and self destruction.

On top of a GDP reduction of 5.5%, this decrease in manufacturing output is just a further sign of the disaster of Brexit. Anyone still clinging on to the notion that Brexit was a good idea, needs to see a psychiatrist.

2/ Each nuclear energy facility generates about $470 million annually in sales of goods and services in the local community. Approximately $40 million is spent annually in wages at each facility.

Your government needs to learn how to invest long term project overseas, I’ve requested two nuclear power plant in the Island of Jalta Tunisian soil, along with 81 Kms bridge and high speed rail network.
Another nuclear power down south on the small island near Djerba.
Quick mathematical equation regarding the revenue potential given the fact labour will cost much less except for certain positions.
Each nuclear energy facility generates about $470 million annually in sales of goods and services in the local community. Approximately $40 million is spent annually in wages at each facility.
Realistically this would create around 70K jobs, which is going to stimulate the property market, tourism industry, pharmaceutical industry etc.
So let’s see it from this point of view, if you miss this opportunity you will face a heavy recession

Come on GB stop stating the damn obvious, and report on the why!!!
It's All by design fgs, part of the WEF globalist great reset. The covid plandemic and illegal lockdown, an Engineered energy crisis through the global warming nonsense, the green energy insanity, net 0, and now a war that should never have happened sanctioning ourselves lol, creating fake high energy costs and food etc. Inflation through the roof, the cost of living far outweighing salaries. Don't forget that the huge Government spending creating debt is actually money they owe us!!! "

Leveling up will fail, they have been leveling up since the sixties and it never works, there's a Hugh difference in north and south and the divide gets larger every year and nothing these idiots do will change it, stop HS2 and spend the money on northern infrastructure and that would help, but the government can't see it because there heads are buried in the sand. The northern cities have been Tory and Labour immigrant dumping ground for sixty years and it's now like a third world country, I left the north in 1985 and it was like Pakistan then, every time I've been back it's got much worse with crime and drugs every were.

we're upgrading our sea defences…there is no need to do so whatsoever. there has never been any recorded coastal erosion where i live. also, we're spending £1m on repairing a bridge that doesn't need repairing. shame we can't afford to do anything about the homeless, the whores or the drug addicts. there is also a large number of men from the middle east just wandering around 24/7.

If we weren't paying out so much for illegal immigrants we would be much better off. We are led by incompetent nobodies, loud mouth do-nothings. We need a big clear out of the Woke, Lettie perverted Department of Education and big, big action on deporting everyone illegally in this country. The benefits would be huge: more housing, less pressure on the NHS, a safer society and so on.
@rogerwilson6367

Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds do not need levelling up. It's cities like Hull, Middlesbrough, Hartlepool and many others on the East coast that needs the money.

Local Government are at a total loss and accuse central Government for everything [not just in the present day but for decades], we have the expensive madness of climate change measures to deal with against a background of continuing rising costs and inflation. Basically, the country is almost on it's uppers

Only 2%???? That is the tip of the iceberg, once the Net Zero madness is finished it will be down 100% because the cost of energy will send ALL production to China. This Government is set on destroying all of our industry.

A couple of banks opening branches in Birmingham – or anywhere else – is not growth. In reality Growth in Area A means Decline in Area B. We disposed of our manufacturing plants in favour of finance – don't we need both? – finance is mainly computer based and not what we need – manufacturing is, but we sold that for cheap labour costs in China and the Far East!
