UK unemployment has risen to five percent in the three months through September.

The figure is up from 4.8 percent the month before. It’s also the highest since early 2021 when the economy was under Covid restrictions. That’s according to the Office for National Statistics.

Saeed Pourreza looks at what’s gone wrong and why the British government’s next budget could make or break confidence in the country’s economy.
