  1. The UK economy grew at a slower pace than first estimated between July and September, revised figures show.

    The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said during the quarter before Omicron took hold, the economy grew by 1.1%, rather than 1.3%, as Britain emerged from lockdown.

    It blamed weaker consumer spending, and the impact of energy companies going out of business.

    The economy is now 1.5% smaller than it was before the coronavirus pandemic.
