   inflation 10.1% and they are doing everything to con us on that figure. They better do the right thing and bring inflation under control. Legislation (drawn up after the 2008 crash) states they must take action to bring down inflation if over 2%. If they Quantitative Ease again and give more free money to the rich it will be a disgrace. When the rich get 50% richer over 2 years (sending their employees on free Caribbean holidays) and the poor get so poor they do not put their heating on (I have it on for 3 x 30min and not a minute more) then there is going to be trouble at the mill.

   Predictions from anyone other than the BoE are worthless. Interest rates will go up, stating 4 or 5 or 6% is like predicting the lottery. The media are foolish, monkeys throwing darts are more accurate.

   Hopefully the base rate continues to rise to fuck over landlords.

   Just remind us, how high did interest rates get in the past without all this screeching? Good you pointed out savers losing out under low interest rates.

   House prices. Joke of the century. Housing is expensive. It's an asset class.

   That's nothing! In the 1980's the interest rate was 16%, here in the UK! 😖🇬🇧

    Liz Truss’s mini budget was the best way forward for the UK – lower taxes and high growth !

    I really have issue with journalists trying to sell us the narrative that interest rates are a bad thing. If you have savings then they're a good thing. They're also a good thing if you want to tackle inflation.

    Interest rates will continue to rise affecting struggling business and mortgage payers who also have to contend with the effect of the green deal, the rising energy costs. Two things which are going to cause problems in the housing market will be the reduction in support for energy costs which means less money spent in shops as people try to cover their bills and mortgages, then there will be the costs of meeting the energy efficiency standards on property which will need to be met and could be expensive especially on older properties. Without these upgrades the properties will be devalued a small landlord may not be able to afforded the costs so will sell. That's if they can, in Germany who are introducing similar laws, a property which does not meet the required standard will not be allowed to be rented out after 2030, expect the same here. The small landlords are on the hit list, in the US with rent caps in some areas landlords are paying out more than they are allowed to charge in rent.

    Agree with most of Liam Halligan says and as at moment is a free world – still think that if the nasties come along – continuation of current high Cost of living – food, fuel and if H* unt and Sunak allows energy prices to rise > inflation in April 2023 along with scrapping of Fuel Stabiliser, council tax rises at Inflation rate (?PI?) this will have big impact (more) on the economy – more people asking for inflation busting pay increases, inflation increasing, stalled economy, flattening of housing mark – more interest rate rises may be needed to curb inflation and RPI – still could see Interest Rates at 8-10% (Boe) – Worse case Scenario.
