This Govt will hike up interest rates again this week for the 14th consecutive time.
The Tories are saying ,"To get inflation under control we have to make the public ...Poor..They have to have less money or it will not work...........But it won't affect MPs of course.

It’s interesting how many ABers don’t seem to understand how this interest rate rising, effects the economy. I first came across this while still living at home with my parents (in a mortgage free house). A colleague (who had recently bought a flat) was complaining bitterly that the government was severely limiting his spending money (to control...

Who sets the rate of interest "Bank Rate" in the UK ?
"It’s interesting how many ABers don’t seem to understand how this interest rate rising, effects the economy.'

Id say most on here have a better grasp of national and other finance matters than you can dream of....you have no clue about anything except posting useless YT videos that suit your twisted and warped view of things...mind you thats a good step up from your little friends capabilities..
Interest rates have been depeessingly low for ages, so having the rate climb is a good thing overall. However for many I fear it is going too fast, and will create problems for those who inadvisabley overstretched their finances when money was dirt cheap, and won't be able to adjust as it becomes less cheap.

bazwillrun, I hope you are not waiting for an answer off gulliver for your post at 14.59. He is more likely to leave his own thread and start a new one rather than answer a question. He complains about mods closing threads if they don't like answers but does similar himself by just leaving threads if he doesn't like what he has been asked, like being asked a sensible question.
If the price of food in the UK suffers an additional increase in inflation of 6% entirely due to Brexit (which it has), no increase (no matter how large) in the BoE’s base rate will change that.
Clearly not due to Brexit. If governments wish to cause barriers to international trade, or if managers of companies proved incapable of managing when changes occurred, that isn't to do with the regaining of national sovereignty. It's all to do with malice & incompetence by those with the power to do better.

100% of the damage caused to the economy of Broken Britain was caused because of Brexit.. no doubt about it whatsoever.
