Wage growth excluding bonuses, an important measure for the Bank of England, slipped to 2.8 per cent, down from 2.9 per cent previously.

The TUC’s General Secretary, Frances O’Grady, said: “Wage growth is stuck in the slow lane. At this rate pay packets won’t recover to their pre-recession levels for years.

“We need to speed things up. Extending collective bargaining would boost living standards and help workers get a fairer share of the wealth they create.”

Suren Thiru head of economics at the British Chambers of Commerce said the slowdown was a “concern.”

However, the number of people in work increased 146,000, more than expected.

There are other worrying economic indicators in the UK economy, the National Institute for Economic and Social Research (NIESR) said growth between March and May was only 0.2%,

The Office for National Statistics’ official figures put growth at 0.1% for the first three months of the year.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
