I listened to the interview on Times radio which was much more open and detailed, he certainly knows his stuff , he did say the budget did flex the markets as do many other budgets and government decisions , he also pointed out the interest rates and mortgages have been steadily rising since Covid .. and the government's budget wasn't the singe reason for interest rates , mortgages and pension liabilities wobbling, , no one is thimking about the fact house prices were already grossly inflated fecting first time buyers opportunity, with crazy lower interest rates allowing people buying beyond their means and putting themselves at risk . ( rates were always going to rise the BOE predicted this before the budget )

I do wonder at times how the bank of England decisions are made is it via algorithms , is it political, is it always right ? Do they dislike Truss who questioned their independence in her leadership campaign, do they hate Brexit , so many questions ?

The world's economy is in a very dangerous place , won't take much more to see a potential conflict spiral out of control.,then we can worry ..
