Abstract

On 13 May, Laura Kuenssberg asked Rishi Sunak, “Are we looking at a recession?” The Chancellor was polite enough not to open a window, point at then-empty streets and pull a Kevin the Teenager face. Instead he reminded viewers that, “technically,” a recession has happened when gross domestic product (GDP) falls in consecutive quarters and that it is, “very likely that the UK will face a significant recession this year.”
