Although the UK economy has avoided a technical recession, quarterly growth rebounded less than expected.
Output fell in August and September, when Britain risked leaving the EU without a transition agreement.
With a month to go before the election, Sajid Javid, the UK chancellor of the exchequer, hailed growth data as "robust". The opposition Labour Party has challenged this view.
"The fact that the government will toast 0.1% growth over the past six months shows how low their hopes and expectations are for our economy," said John McDonnell, a labour finance spokesman.
Economists said continued political uncertainty and a weak global growth background could prompt the Bank of England to cut interest rates next year, even if Prime Minister Johnson passed the brexit agreement before the new deadline for brexit on January 31.
"There's nothing to celebrate about surviving the recession." TEJ Parikh, an economist at the Institute of directors, said: "the UK economy has been in a stop and go mode for the whole year, with growth interrupted from time to time by the constantly delayed deadline for brexit."
GDP growth in the third quarter fell to 1.0% year-on-year from 1.3% in the second quarter, the NBS said. This is the slowest year-on-year growth since the first quarter of 2010, slightly lower than the 1.1% growth forecast by economic analysts in the Reuters survey.
GDP grew 0.3% in the third quarter from the previous quarter, lower than the 0.4% growth predicted by the Bank of England and some private economists. In the three months to June, the UK economy contracted by 0.2%.
**The Bank of England cut interest rates? * *
Since the brexit referendum in 2016, the British economy has lost momentum, and the annual growth rate before the referendum was basically more than 2%.
Last week, the Bank of England slightly raised its growth forecast for 2019 to 1.4% from 1.3%, mainly because it expected growth in the third quarter to be faster than previously expected. This will be the same growth rate as in 2018 and the lowest since the financial crisis. The Bank of England expects the economic growth to further slow down to 1.3% in 2020.
Last week, two bank of England policymakers voted to cut interest rates. If economic growth remains weak and the uncertainty in the longer-term trade relationship between the UK and the EU persists, other policymakers may follow.
Nancy Curtin, chief investment officer of close brothers, said, "the Bank of England expects investment to rebound if Parliament approves the brexit agreement and eliminates the risk of non agreement exit, but we think this is a very optimistic view."
