BRITAIN’S economy flatlined for the second month in a row, figures revealed today, with union leaders saying it showed a need for an “ambitious industrial strategy.”

Gross domestic product (GDP) recorded no growth in July, the latest Office for National Statistics data showed, despite economists expecting a rise of 0.1 per cent.

It had previously seen a rise of 0.6 per cent between April and June.
