UK income growth revised upwards as markets hail ‘resilient’ economy

UK household income growth has been revised higher after the Office for National Statistics raised its second‑quarter GDP estimate, indicating the economy expanded faster than initially thought. The upward revision has been welcomed by markets as a sign of resilience and provides a political boost for Labour’s John Healey ahead of the upcoming budget announcement.
