Yeah, all political spin. What's laughable is that governments won't admit to being in a recession until there are 2 negative GDP quarters. But as soon as there is even a positive month, they are shouting about a recovery.
Unless industrial production (which is a better measure than GDP) and employment (which is a good measure of public earning power) start rising for more than 2 quarters, I believe any talk of hitting bottom, let alone recovery, is complete and utter propaganda.
There is no recovery; not here, not in the UK, not in the US. All there is is fancy, manipulated statistics.
