    It’s a usurious system. Islamic banking is against usury. Down with usury!

    Why are so many people accepting the falsehood that raising interest rates is helping, or in any way necessary?

    The Bank of England interest rate rises are counter-productive.

    They should stop panicking and allow the economy to reset, naturally, as it was always going to.

    Even with Putin's invasion of Ukraine, the supply-led inflation simply required the West to work hard and adapt to increasing its own supply of fuel and food.

    The (post-Covid) depleted supply of 'non-essential' ('luxury') products was replennished as people got back to work.

    That's it. No interest rate rises needed.

    Inflation linked gilts? Doesn't matter. Interest rate rises will have no meaningful effect on the type of inflation we're currently experiencing!

    By allowing the BoE to raise interest rates, the Government is causing unnecessary personal suffering, crushing the economy, increasing unemployment and reducing VAT revenue to the Treasury.

    Why do we have this natural period of temporary inflation?

    Well, it's the cost of Covid and the cost of Putin's war.

    We were always going to feel the financial pain for a while – it manifests itself as a period of inflation that cannot be compensated by pay rises, nor controlled with raised interest rates!

    It's about time the BoE appreciated this reality and got interest rates back down. Now.

    At least the economy can then start growing, allowing people to breathe again.

    So not his and his governments fault then….

    The bank has only one option to curb inflation and that’s to raise its interest rates to take out money from the country..

    There is still too much money in society…

    One of the main reasons for Western outrage over interest rate hikes is because the rates upto covid was ridiculously low. It is time when the BOE realise that there is a value for money and it is not 0.001%.

    Stuffing money in peoples pockets? The people’s tax money kept the banks afloat during the banking crisis and the executives retained their massive salaries for making the biggest mistake in my lifetime (I’m 73). They went on to have ever increasing salaries plus bonuses, while many people were on minimum wage. Why is it that executives get bonuses for doing their job, while people on minimum wage are expected to work harder and be more productive for nothing?

    The path to inflation to you may be unclear but it is blindingly obvious that if you invent vast quantities of new money and use it to purchase gilts held by banks and then allow that new money, now owned by banks, to be held as commercial bank reserves then that has results including inflation.
    One,it forces down interest rates to about zero. Two,it gives banks loads of reserves they can use to justify an expansion of bank lending.Three ,it gives the banks full indulgence in their usual irresponsibility to lend on projects which are not viable were interest rates at their "natural" level. Four, it leads to the BoE owning a lot of the nations debt with the Treasury issuing debt and the BoE owning it,two branches of govt manipulating debt between them.When interest rates do return to their "normal" level all hell will be let lose. For example the BoE now has to pay to the banks huge sums in interest payments on the BoEs invented money now held as bank reserves in the 10s of billions.
    We are now at that point when all these clod hopping QE inventions come home to roost..

    The “clodhopping Bank of England” is in cahoots with the government of the time ie: the conservatives.

    All of the fixed rate mortgages must be automatically extended by two years as payback for the disastrous lockdowns. The people saved the banks in 2008, now it is payback time.

    Maybe JRM could explain the BIS. The bank of international Settlements, which control every single central bank. I urge everyone to watch Richard Vobes, with guest Justin Walker called the Million pound note, regarding the Bank of England, totally separate from the treasury, and who and how our financial system is really works.

    Where was Jacob talking about this before two years and criticizing the boe? Quantitative easing has benefited whoever owns multi asset investments like Jacob. All these stuffed printed money he talks about have gone all the way to pay rent, mortgages and living costs, which are owned assets of people like Jacob. He earns alone good interest by just keeping cash in the bank. He shouldn't even pretend not liking the boe decision.

  32. @ecnalms851

    January 9, 2024 at 4:27 am

    I usually don't agree with what he says, but what he did say he was pretty spot on in my opinion. However, a part of the cause of inflation in which the Bank, although doing a terrible job, is trying to solve is due to Brexit and the worker shortage it has caused (migrants moving to their home country such as Poland or other migrants finding it harder to migrate or no longer see it as an attractive place to migrate.) But because he is a big Brexiteer, he obviously won't admit this.

    I don't understand how raising UK rates will affect inflationary factors which now seem to be international, ie world food and energy prices. A little more buying power for sterling surely won't a big change to corn prices etc

    The U.K. will probably follow the Eurozone into recession as they both followed roughly the same policy. With Germany in recession things could turn dire. Hopefully Germany will exit recession quickly.

  37. @TrOgaN_

    January 9, 2024 at 4:27 am

    The solution is very simple, a significant windfall tax on all those companies that put workers on furlough that didn't need to financialy. Companies that abused the system should pay. This should be easy to work out based on the dividend payments made to share holders. It will be a huge sum as a lot of furlough money went directly into shareholders pockets. It was a badly conceived and unfair system and those that recieved nothing are having to pay for it..

    BoE Gov could be making another mistake engagement of Ben Bernake Inflation Guru as today rise is not the last, there could be at least a dozen more as BB strategy is to use Interests rate to cut Inflation to 2%. US economy is unlike UK on matters of Inflation.

    Seems the people with the most debt are the ones really suffering. Those with high mortgages and high credit card debts. Mainly the younger generation.
    They are the ones who are paying for the quantitative easing and furloughing during the plandemic… obviously not the very wealthy who avoid tax altogether!

    I like how Sir Jacob had to look down at his notes to double check the name "Wilko" and then explain that it was a "Homes and Household Goods Retailer" showing that he had probably never heard of the shop, let alone been there. Way too down market for him. Shows how out of touch he is.

    Damn, even a blind bat knows the Government does not serve the people, the people serve and work for the Government. That is because the Government is there to serve the Central bank who prints the fake money, for The council of Foreign Relations aka as WEF. The Government just makes sure tax payers money is given to WEF and the poor is used to control inflation, but their corporate neoliberal deregulating greed has been that intense inflation is now out of control. Jacob knows and is apart of this establishment.

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?
