Burnham warned Iran war could hit UK growth next year

Andy Burnham has warned that a war with Iran could negatively impact UK economic growth next year.

Disrupted supply chains have also been a result of the conflict, further threatening the UK's economic stability. Rising costs and supply chain issues may lead to slower economic growth in the UK.
