    Cut taxes on businesses first because its disinflationary while growing the economy and use the rest to pay down debt.

    Has April Fool Day come early? 🤔

    If things are so great the Government can afford to not increase energy bills by 20% in April then.

    Does Halligan ever get economics right?
    Is he really so out of his depth?

    Don't be so ridiculous.
    Most people have had a 18% reduction in income.

    OBR forecast wrong, what a surprise. For something so wrong so often why make any decisions from it? Some might say in the absence of nothing else to else, seems like using nothing is the best policy.

    I expect the calculation of PMI is fudged just like the calculations for inflation, growth, population, and employment, etc. If its the wrong result adjust the formula until you get the right answer .

  19. @Wypipo

    December 29, 2023 at 5:49 pm

    “Dodged” as in… tucked it all under the inflation. As in… inflated all the debt away so the working class has already paid for the recession, they just don’t know it yet.

    This is a load of total Bollocks
    Where is information coming from
    The CROOKED Goverment or the

    We are on the Titanic Mate

    So where is all the money going to Ukraine coming from, money we don’t have, will this not impact on UK.

    Tell that to the many thousands of previously healthy businesses that have gone to the wall because of the insane and totally unnecessary lockdowns, over a virus that only posed a threat to a fraction of 1%!

    Every country has a media hack saying exactly the same thing

    In contrast, this good news on the economy was very reluctantly released on BBC news outlets. Such a typical reaction will no doubt be shared by about 50% of the nation. Sad really.

  28. @doubleooh7337

    December 29, 2023 at 5:49 pm

    Surely a economy expert would be better then a "news economist , all you guys do is get the opinion of someone totally unrelated to someone elses opinion you do want, why not just ask the actually person.

  29. @robertheywood2553

    December 29, 2023 at 5:49 pm

    When you think of what has been happening since last September, it is no surprise. Fuel prices through the roof = a shit load of extra tax, vat, fuel duty etc. And on top of that some people are now in the higher tax bracket, plus the extra vat collected from energy bills

  30. @Rachel_M_

    "we're not using numbers but opinion of an authority".
    That called "appeal to authority" and is a logical fallacy.
    Do better.
    Dismissed.

Zia Yusuf delivers a scathing critique of both the Conservative and Labour parties, accusing them of failing the British public on immigration and foreign aid. In this explosive segment, the Reform UK Home Affairs spokesperson claims the country has experienced “the biggest wave of untrammelled mass immigration ever seen,” placing the blame squarely on successive governments.

Yusuf outlines why Reform UK is launching a new inquiry into what he calls the “Boriswave,” arguing that border policies under recent leadership have left the UK exposed. He raises concerns about public safety, national priorities, and whether the current system is truly serving the interests of the British people.

In this week’s Chopper’s Political Podcast, Christopher Hope is joined by Tom Harwood and Katherine Forster to examine the growing debate around the UK state pension and the “triple lock.”

With Reform UK now joining other major parties in backing the policy, the discussion explores why the triple lock remains politically untouchable, despite rising concerns over its long-term cost. The panel breaks down how the system works, why it was introduced, and how it has helped reduce pensioner poverty, while also raising questions about fairness between generations.

They also look at the mounting financial pressures facing the UK, including the rising cost of pensions, slow economic growth, and an ageing population. Could the triple lock become unsustainable in the future? And if so, what alternatives might be considered?

BREAKING: Chancellor Rachel Reeves has hit out at President Trump and the US administration following strikes against Iran, describing the move as “folly” and revealing she was left “very frustrated and angry.” Her comments have sparked fresh debate over the global and economic consequences of escalating tensions in the Middle East.

In this segment, Kevin Maguire, co-host of the Pierce vs Maguire podcast, reacts to Reeves’ strong remarks and unpacks what this could mean for the UK economy. From rising energy prices to market instability, the fallout of the Iran conflict could have far-reaching implications for households and businesses alike.
