Your data shows what we already knew - the US economy recovered well under Biden and growth turned negative in Trump's first quarter. The UK economy has recovered far slower but is still fairly resilient, and growth rate has picked up slightly under Labour.

I've got Rolls Royce, didn't buy at 36p - you must be quids in.
I was on Holiday and thought I'd better take up my rights.Very pleased i bothered.
10 year gilt yields are higher under Labour and Reeves than they ever were under Truss and have been so for all of 2025, Truss was in power for a MONTH.
If Gilts are your measure then Labour and Truss are consistently worse and for a longer period than Truss
They’ve never recovered from Truss.
Simply not true
Have you actually looked at the charts, 1/12/2024 the yield was 3.54 compared to 4.55 yesterday.

This will help you understand.
USA bond rates follow a similar curve
I don't mean to trigger your self doubt and insecurity but do really give economic advice for a living?

Do you understand how to read charts Owen?
Yes thank you
The higher yield indicates the markets that lend to the UK have less confidence in the way the economy is being managed and how the debt burden is growing.
If you are suggesting that a higher yield is a good thing then you can't criticise Truss, plain fact is yield is higher now than it ever was under Truss' leadership.
Do you understand how to read it before Liz Truss came in?
Yes it was lower, as were bond yields globally.
If you are blaming the current yield on Liz Truss then best of luck in your future career.
Ok let's try this.
Your assertion is the bond yield is higher today than it would be, had there been no Truss budget.
That being the case, what do you think the rate would be today has there not been a Truss budget and what is your supporting argument for the number
I am more than prepared to change my mind if presented with solid evidence.
