Zero hedge on Reeves proposing re-defining Britain's debt rules so they can invest in the infrastructure. If the markets see this as inflationary by increasing the money supply £ will fall and rates will increase.
Well that has already happened, Gilt rates are above those we saw under Truss (and she collapsed the economy apparently). The markets look ahead and when they raise rates it is an indication that they do not like what they see. |

2T Starmer loses battle to prevent Caribbean demanding slave reparations....... 2 Tier Keir yesterday lost his battle to prevent Caribbean nations from using the Commonwealth summit to demand billions in reparations for the British slave trade. Earlier this month, after The Mail on Sunday revealed that the issue would be on the table at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Samoa, No10 insisted it was 'not on the agenda' for the summit – and continued to do so until the final communique was published this weekend.....

The markets look ahead and when they raise rates it is an indication that they do not like what they see. Gilt rates encourage investment into the Government. That seems to be the way to go when pulling the economy out of the mire and producing more money for investment into progress for the country in the future. |

Starmer warns we face harsh reality We already know because you are in No 10 linkFrom your link. "The Budget will embrace the "harsh light of fiscal reality" but "better days are ahead", Sir Keir Starmer will say in a speech ahead of Wednesday's announcement." That has been his intention all along, so nothing new there. Its just a case of whether or not he can deliver, if he does then the economy and the country will become stronger and everyone will benefit. Lets hope his aims are more successful than those of Brexit have been. |

Bit different from Blair's 'Things can only get better'.. Ha ha, you really didn't need a graph to understand the obvious. Or the reason why. But, 'its not where you start, its where you finish' that counts, so the final recognition may yet expose the nonsense mindedness of the naive Rightists. |

They're an IOU ie government debt that has to be paid back in the future. |

Labour will borrow until we are bankrupt, they wont rest until the UK has a -A credit rating, they don't care because they are going to make the most of their five yea term, because after that they are history and the problem will be for the next government to sort out their utter mess and incompetence. |

High Gilt rates take money away from the Government - currently we are paying £90 Billion a year on debt interest (7% of total public spending). If rates rise as they currently are then that bill rises alarmingly. By comparison we spend 4% on Education. |

Somebody made a great point on the radio today.
When Starmer let another man buy clothes for his wife it made him look like a cuckold, and he lost all authority in the eyes of the nation.
