'' very cheap money''

had over 13 years of it (maybe coming to an end within the next 12 months) - at the same time Lloyds had to rid itself of the governments share stake and pay huge sums in PPI .

I must have already said the same thing several times already - each member of the MPC have a vote on what should happen to the base rate.

''raising IR will not stop rising energy costs.''

the rate rises will be to slow the economy and into possible recession.
Many will reduce their consumption of energy.
Need to start fracking in the UK

''some''

how did that get there - sum

''which you were a great advocate of ''

???

''would never impose another lockdown ''

easy to say now that we have vaccines

sounds very cheap.
A lot of people pay a 3 figure some each month simply to rent a property

Anyone in the world can apply to fill a needed vacancy in the UK.
What has the jobs market in the UK , Europe, USA etc got to do with sky high energy costs, and the knock on effects?

ant
unfortunately not - as usual from people such as yourself, every situation has been caused because the UK is no longer in the EU club.
Strikers are causing self inflicted financial penalties on themselves.

everyone has daily living costs even in ones own home

back in your box

''I believe a care cost cap limit is coming in near the end of next year.''

I wonder if the proposed scrapping of the NI increase by LT will affect the above

T
The UK base rate is far too low still - needs to be quite a bit higher

T
interest rate rises take several months to take effect. Inflation doesn't reduce overnight

T
''Higher prices means a higher IHT take...and or you will have the means to pay for your own elderly care costs if needed ''

I believe a care cost cap limit is coming in near the end of next year.

T
''I would argue they need to be reduced...''

with double digit inflation - oh dear
