Summary
 Â
On today's Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson is joined by our economics and data editor Ed Conway to understand what is causing the UK's growth to flatline.

 Â
And as the global economic landscape continues to respond to world events - including the imminent arrival of a second Donald Trump term - what can the beleaguered chancellor do to ensure the economy bounces back?Â
Producer: Soila ApparicioÂ
