Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew by 0.6 per cent in the third quarter of the year, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said. This was down mainly to a pick-up in the construction industry which had a weak start to the year because of heavy snow. But in gloomier news, business investment slumped by 1.1 per cent in the same three months- falling for the third quarter in a row - the first time this has happened since the 2008 financial meltdown. The figures come amid fears that political deadlock in Parliament could send Britain hurtling towards a no deal Brexit.
