Keir Starmer’s economic legacy – in charts

PM said Labour had turned economy around – but his record on growth and unemployment appears mixed

Keir Starmer used his leaving speech to lay out a long list of Labour’s achievements in office – but his economic legacy appears mixed, with sluggish UK growth and higher employment costs.

The prime minister said his government had turned around an ailing economy, after 14 years of austerity. He said plans by the previous Tory administration to cut investment had been reversed and economic growth was the highest in the G7.
