      It’s really not, inflation and recessions are two very different things in economics

      A recession is a downturn in business activity

      Inflation is price rises due to too much money chasing too few goods or restrictions in supply causing demand to exceed causing scarcity.

          Did you even read your link

          A recession is two quarters (six months in total) of negative GDP growth. We last saw this happen at the start of the pandemic, when the UK experienced a six-month recession during the first half of 2020

            Yes, and my point is that the growth being reported isn’t representative of reality.

              I don’t understand what you mean

              Economic statistics are literally representative of reality.
