A survey reveals that British consumers' economic optimism has plummeted to a record low of -72, influenced by the Iran war and rising oil prices, surpassing previous lows from the 2008 financial crisis and the 1980 recession.

Ipsos reports that net economic optimism in Britain has reached its lowest point since 1978, with 78% of Britons expecting the economy to worsen over the next 12 months, amid rising concerns over inflation.
