Reeves accused of leaving economy 'on its knees' as manufacturing and services slump fuel recession fears

The UK's economy is facing a critical downturn with manufacturing and services sectors struggling, raising concerns about a potential recession. Reports highlight that confidence is waning, with both sectors experiencing significant slumps. This situation has led to accusations against the Chancellor, Reeves, for allegedly leaving the economy in a fragile state. The implications are significant, as a recession could lead to job losses, reduced consumer spending, and a host of economic challenges for the government to address.
