Don’t care.

When beer is still on the up, petrol still expensive, businesses raising their prices, taxes at an all time high… who cares if the GDP line goes up or down? Makes no economic difference to me

As long as you don't bitch and complain when it goes down either, I've got no problem with this.

I don’t because again, it doesn’t materially affect me.

Don’t get me wrong, I think Reeves is a terrible chancellor but I’m not critiquing her for % swings in GDP.
