Sure, and when a corpse that has been dead for a few hours suddenly groans and/or farts, it’s also showing unexpected pep.
But those apparent signs of life are misleading – it’s still very much dead, and the escaping gas didn’t change that fact.
The same can be said of our economy – the truth is that we’ve now had well over a decade of stagflation under the Tories. That’s a dead economy, that is serving nobody new as the population it is meant to support grows (and, most critically, ages).

Who doesn’t like some [unexpected pep](https://imgur.com/37eqkvA)?
This is like remembering you have leftover pizza in the fridge when you’re stuck down a well.
Let me guess, this makes everyone here very angry as they think it contradicts their personal experience despite just being statistics.
Jeez, I know things are still shit bit this is still good news.
Sure fossil fuel companies are making record profits. The economy might therefore on average do okay. But people aren’t.
