Labour and the SNP accused the Conservatives of leaving the economy exposed to the international economic shocks by leading the country through a decade of weak growth and inequality.
Alison Thewlis, SNP Treasury spokeswoman, said: "These latest figures must serve as a final wake-up call for the Prime Minister and his Chancellor to deliver real support to protect struggling households and businesses, and ditch their austerity agenda.

"These statistics are a damning indictment of the Tories’ disastrous economic record - driven by deep austerity, targeting of the most vulnerable in society, and imposing an extreme Brexit that has hammered the economy, trade and led to staff shortages."
Hunt insisted the problems were largely due to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s "weaponisation" of gas
