Britain’s economy is showing surprising strength, with the services sector posting its best growth in six months and consumer confidence hitting a two-year high—big wins for PM Burnham amid inflation woes. GDP rose 0.3% in June and 0.4% in Q2, positioning the UK as the fastest-growing G7 nation for H1. Tech and AI investments are fueling this momentum. While retail sales dipped slightly, three-month retail growth surged 4% year-over-year—the strongest in five years. Still, inflation looms, likely to exceed 3%, global energy prices remain volatile, and the budget deficit resurfaced despite revised borrowing figures. It’s a mixed bag, but early signs point to a meaningful rebound worth watching.
