Static effective demand driven by the costs of living crisis, compounded by the draining upwards of wealth is on of the UK's key problems... and reflecting stagnant productivity.
(Household consumption is a reasonable proxy for effective demand, as it reduces the effect of top 1% consumption).
@ChrisMayLA6
I'm guessing that should be 'costs of living crisis', but I'm pretty sure that goes hand-in-hand with a 'costs of loving crisis'.Meanwhile, Starmer et al. have no idea of how to handle this, apart from more effective austerity.

@ChrisMayLA6 Keynes was right - the cost of loving crisis counts! We need more love!

The photo-Keynesian is also ... rather physics flavoured! Proto?

@ChrisMayLA6 My OH asks is that graph inflation adjusted or is it in absolute £?

as the data is from the ONS, I'm going to say inflation adjusted, although it doesn't actually say

my guess is that the Brexit effect is the key - the pst covid trend, now includes Brexit issues after the big covid dip

@mplouffe @ChrisMayLA6 The Cost of Loving was an album title for the Stye Council in 1987 (I suspect Weller quite deliberately picked that pun due to the way the country was going back then, not dissimilar to today)

Definitely Brexit. Flatlining started way before 2020 Jan. -

@ChrisMayLA6 it wasn't just COVID at the time the graph flattened.
