Economic growth in the UK has reached 0.1%, despite construction and retail being hit by a slow start to the year.
UK Correspondent Gavin Grey told Heather du Plessis Allan that the government has said their economic reforms are beginning to come good. However, the opposition is saying “you’ve been in power for more than a decade and it’s not looking good.”
Grey said “The general election is beginning to focus on the economy; and asylum seekers (which is very much unresolved)”.
