It seems likely that consumer confidence is continuing to head downwards, which for an economy like the UK driven by consumer demand will be a problem for Rachel Reeves' 'growth' agenda... but what's behind this dip?

Commentators are citing sentiment about economic prospects & (sometimes) the continued high interest rates... which *are* likely contributing to declining sentiment.

But, I suspect, workers & voters realising that Govt is not on their side may be also stoking a malaise!
