Yes, the BoE’s own Guilts. AKA quantitative easing. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantitative_easing

It’ll be pushed up the back of people’s minds as the recession hits. And of course next up, more Tory cuts to welfare and public services.

She was forced into a U-Turn by members of her own party who were threatening to vote her budget down.

In the first instance you need to revisit the OP, while relevant to people living in Thailand on income from the UK the £/฿ is not the topic of discussion. Secondly, the BoE has stepped in with £65Billion of quantitative easing in order to prop the pound up, the BoE have stated this is not a long term fix.

I think it fairer to say he is backing the President of the United States in his opposition to the threats to world peace coming from a violent aggressor.

And when caught get thrown in prison.

Your ‘silent majority’ is a myth. Elections are won by attracting a small number of swing voters in key ‘swing’ constituencies. You can waffle on about ‘Work shy on benefits’ all you wish, when voters can’t afford to put regular meals in front of their kids, can’t afford to heat their homes and can’t afford their mortgage repayments, they are not listening to ‘scapegoating’. They are focussed on the problems this Government has created for them.

Oh, so you don’t have evidence to back up your claims. You want everyone else to go get the evidence for you.

Erm,,,, we know. Babcock Ranch demonstrated it can be done.

I’m not sure how you work that out? The aggressor here is Putin, it’s Putin making the threats. History is very clear, do not ignore threats made by dictators, and never appease dictators. It’s the appeasement of this particular dictator that has emboldened him.

With the added bonus of local jobs created to install and maintain the solar power grid.

Just like it never happened. Except it did, and it was forced upon the BoE by an idiot.

I beg of you a promise. You are not going to disappear as Trump is indicted and sent to trial.

And yet she couldn’t see two hours into the future before her Chancellor announced their madness of borrowing money to give to the already wealthy. If sh has a plan, and she says she does, it’s time she published it.

The BoE is forecasting 18 months of recession, which has already started. Inflation is forecast to over 13% and interests rates are forecast to go higher. On top of this the PM is already suggesting slashing welfare and public spending. The upcoming conference and the return of Parliament are going to be extremely interesting.

The pound is not out of the woods yet. Next up, Parliament must vote on the finance that supports the budget. We’ll get an idea how that is likely to play out during the up coming Conservative Party Conference. With polls swinging hard against the Tories, very many of Truss’ back benchers are looking at defeat unless something changed dramatically. Meanwhile, nobody has received a tax cut and very many have already received notification of interest on their debts increasing. This is a long way from over.

And the pond slumped immediately as a direct reaction to the Government’s unfunded tax cuts.

I’m sticking to topic, Sterling being the currency of the UK.

Did you bother to check which MPs voted to support that war and which voted against? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Parliamentary_approval_for_the_invasion_of_Iraq

Whataboutary. Nobody in the UK struggling to afford regular meals, pay bills or keep a roof over their head gives a fig about Germany.

While the PM promises 2.5% growth next year, though to be fair she didn’t specify what that growth would be in. The BOE forecast of August makes depressing reading, and that didn’t include the economic damage wrought by the ‘mini budget’. It’s well past time for the Government to publish the economic plan the PM says she is working to. https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/monetary-policy-report/2022/august-2022#report-august

Let’s stick with the facts. President Biden has backed Ukrainian against the Russian aggressor and has not backed down in the face of thinly veiled Russian threats.

Here’s the latest nonsense. Truss snd he pet Chancellor have claimed they are following a plan for 2.5 % growth next year. But nobody has ever seen this plan. The Plan it turns out will not be delivered to Truss and her pet Chancellor until October 7 (so clearly the ‘we are working to a plan’ statements are lies, they won’t have a plan until a week from now. And then… they wont let the public see the plan until mid November. We are now in ‘The Dog Ate My Homework’ territory.

Is that so? https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2021/06/24/the-tories-have-always-borrowed-more-than-labour-and-always-repaid-less-they-are-the-party-of-big-deficit-spending/

Glad to see a US President who correctly identifies who America’s enemies are and does not defend them in while undermining US Intelligence Services. Clearly Putin has ‘nothing on Biden’.
