You know little things like graduate vacancies going up, business confidence improving, manufacturing improving, etc, etc.
I do agree with you that the ConDems have it wrong though, they are listening too much to the Dems and not following the Cons enough and this was most certainly not predicted beyond by the usual suspects in the Labour party who think the public sector is the economy, not really relevant to this anyway as noted as public spending in the quarter in question was enormous.

So the ConDems took over and growth figures have gone 1.1%, 0.7% and now -0.5% - seems like they have it all under control.
At least the first quarter figuers of a new year usually see positive growth...oh hold on the VAT rise, fuel rise and redundancy notices landing on people's door mats will hit those figures. Welcome to the double dip.
Presumambly the snow that they are blaming was that pesky socialist stuff as well was it?
