Blow for UK economy as GDP falls 0.3% – what it means for YOU
THE UK economy shrunk in April, official figures show.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said Gross Domestic Product (GDP) went down by 0.3% that month.
Services and manufacturing both contributed to the fall.
However GDP still grew over the last three months as a whole, with signs that some activity may have been brought forward from April to earlier in the year.
It comes after the economy grew by 0.7% in the quarter to March.
Cheapest supermarket selling massive Toblerone bars for just £3 revealed as shoppers grab them for Father’s Day
MORRISONS has the lowest price for a big Toblerone bar just in time for Father’s Day.
The major supermarket has slashed the price of the 360g block of chocolate in multiple flavours by 50 percent.
The £3 price tag for the tasty Swiss bar is available to those with a Morrisons’ member card.
This price is cheaper than the next lowest of £4.75 which is available at Tesco for Clubcard holders only.
Otherwise the 40 gram bar of Milk Chocolate Toblerone and other flavours is currently listed for £6 at Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Ocado.
The price drop comes days after Morrisons restocked the gigantic Toblerone bar which weighs 4.5kg and is more than 12 times bigger.
The limited-edition bar is in stores now and will be until Sunday June 15, 2025 making it the perfect present for Father’s day.
While the bar weighs in at a hefty weight, so does the price, with the bar on offer at £60 for customers with a More Card.
However, those without a More Card will have to pay the full price of £80.
The chocolate bar is only available in store at Morrisons but is also currently sold on Amazon for £69.99.
Along with the Toblerone deals, savvy shoppers noted how Morrisons is also offering a great price of Terry’s Chocolate Orange.
The major supermarket slashed the price of the beloved chocolate favourite and shoppers can choose from two different flavours.
What is loyalty pricing?
You may have heard of loyalty pricing, but do you know what it is?
Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Morrisons are three supermarkets that offer customers signed up to their loyalty schemes exclusive discounts – known as loyalty pricing.
All three retailer’s schemes, Nectar Card, Clubcard and More Card, are free to sign up to as well.
The obvious advantage to loyalty pricing is that you can save potentially hundreds of pounds a year on your shopping, all without spending a penny.
But different supermarkets offer exclusive discounts on different products, so do some research before doing your shopping.
Either way, be wary of supermarkets artificially inflating prices to make it seem like you’re getting a better deal than you are.
A previous investigation by consumer group Which? found Sainsbury’s and Tesco have increased the price of everyday goods then slapped loyalty prices on them thinking customers wouldn’t notice.
Either way, it’s worth shopping around though.
Supermarkets change their prices all the time, sometimes multiple times daily, so it’s worth researching to ensure you’re getting the best price on an item.
You can use websites like Trolley to see how the major supermarket’s compare in terms of price on any number of goods.
Morrisons is selling the 90g ball in both the original and mint flavours for £1.50, for those with a member’s card.
The full price of the tasty treat is usually £2 and the reduced price is also cheaper than what Sainsbury’s and Tesco sell it for, which is £1.95 at both supermarkets.
Even with a Tesco Clubcard, Terry’s Chocolate Orange 90g costs £1.75, making the Morrisons offer cheaper.

IF you’re planning a summer getaway, an affordable Amazon buy is perfect for avoiding those baggage fees at the airport.
Opting for just a carry on may seem cheaper but fines at the gate can put a damper on the start of your holiday.

This bag measures 40 centimetres in length and 25 centimetres in height, making it perfect for under seat storage.
The Estefanlo Cabin Bag is available for just £6.99 from Amazon.
It comes in four colours: beige, black, grey, and pink.
The measurements on this bag allow you to carry on the maximum amount of luggage into the cabin.
It meets the guidelines for major airlines including Ryanair, easyJet, and British Airways.

This hand luggage bag even features an extra shoulder strap for your comfort.
A pouch allows the duffel to fit over the handle of a wheeled suitcase.
And if you haven’t splurged for checked luggage, this bag is said to hold up to five days worth of clothes.
And that’s not all, it also features an exterior pocket for all your travel essentials.
This includes items like your boarding pass, passport, and other documents you may need.
These cabin bags can also be used to transport gym and sports gear.
It can even be utilised as a hospital bag and for overnight camping trips.
The smooth reliable zips and reinforced straps make this bag ideal for long haul travel.
Advice for flying with Ryanair
- All Ryanair passengers can bring a small personal bag on board but this must fit under the seat in front of you, but it must be no bigger than 40cm x 20cm x 25cm
- Any over-sized cabin bags will be refused at the boarding gate and put in the hold for a fee
- Ryanair also charges passengers up to £55 check-in at the airport
- Anyone who loses their card at the airport will have to pay a £20 reissue fee
- Book to sit in the front five rows if you want to head off the plane first
- Extra legroom seats can be found in rows 1 A, B, C or 2 D, E, F as well as row 16 and 17 near the emergency exit
- The worst seat on Ryanair’s Boeing 737-800 aircraft is also 11A because of its lack of window.
Amazon shoppers heaped on the praise for the budget bag in the review section.
“Flew Ryanair and fitted plenty of items inside which fitted perfectly under the seat on the flight,” said one customer.
“Highly recommend as I’m now using as a gym bag.”
“I love it, perfect size and the folding, I will recommend it to friends and family,” wrote another buyer.
A third person said the luggage is “the perfect size” and “holds loads”.
Cover ugly walls or fences with a beautiful, fast-growing flower – it also adds privacy to your garden
IF your garden has an ugly wall or fence that needs brightening up, there’s one flower for the job.
You can cover the eyesore and help to elevate your garden’s privacy in one go.
The experts at Gardener’s World named the best plant for the job, and detailed how to grow and prune it.
They recommended adding trumpet vines, officially known as Campsis, to your walls and fences.
The deciduous woody climbers feature red, orange, or yellow tubular flowers that bloom from late summer through to autumn.
Give these plants a large space to grow, ideally on a south-facing wall or a pergola in direct sunlight.
They will quickly cover a framework, but experts advise annual pruning to control growth.
Trumpet vines are known to cause skin irritation, so always wear gloves when handling.
Plant these vines against a large wall or fence, or you can train them up a trellis or pergola,
They can also be grown in large pots placed in a warm sheltered spot against a wall or fence.
While they are frost hardy, they thrive in warmer conditions, with full sunlight helping to ripen the new wood.
This improves hardiness and promotes prolific flowering, with the plants often growing to 12 metres with wall support.
They are ideal for adding privacy to your space and can spread for up to four metrese in width.
But be warned, trumpet vines can be invasive so be sure to grow them in containers to help restrict their spread.
TikTok garden pro Michael (@themediterraneangardener) also recommended the climbing plant for quick coverage of walls and fences.
He described the flower as “fast-growing”, explaining “it will quickly cover a wall or a fence”.
Trumpet vines are best planted in spring or early autumn and need to be watered thoroughly.
How to create privacy in your garden
CREATING privacy in your garden can be achieved in a number of ways depending on your budget, and the size of your space. Here are some effective ways to enhance privacy in your garden:
1. Fencing
- Install a tall, solid wooden or vinyl fence. This is one of the most straightforward ways to gain immediate privacy. Or use lattice panels, trellis, or slatted fencing to add a decorative touch while still offering privacy.
2. Hedges and Plants
- Fast-growing evergreen shrubs or trees like Leylandii, Thuja, or Bamboo along the boundary of your garden can help with privacy. Grow a dense hedge using plants like Boxwood, Privet, or Laurel. It may take time to grow, but it provides a natural and green privacy screen. Use climbers like Ivy, Clematis, or Wisteria on fences or trellises to create a lush, green privacy barrier.
3. Outdoor Curtains
- Hang outdoor curtains around pergolas, gazebos, or patios for an easy-to-adjust privacy solution.
4. Sound Barriers
- A water fountain or small waterfall can help drown out noise, adding to the sense of privacy. Or install fencing designed to reduce noise if privacy from sound is also a concern.
For the best results, mix organic matter such as garden compost into the planting area.
Dig a hole at least twice as wide as the pot and around the same depth.
This should be placed approximately 45 centimetres from the base of the wall or fence.
Loosen the soil at the edges of the hole and remove the plant from its pot, teasing out the roots.
Place the vines in the hole levelling the top of the rootball with the soil.
Then refill the hole and gently firm the soil around the plant, removing any air pockets.
As well as watering the plant, you should mulch with compost or chipped bark.
You can also tie the shoots into supports to start training the vine.
