The BoE hiking interest rates having no effect on inflation, so let's try some more. Honestly, this country.
It will do but they reckon it can take 12-18 months for rate rises to have full effect….unless they cause indirect issues like US banking sector where regional banks are going bust…which could lead to credit crunch/reduced lending
We’re also fortunate that more people are on fixed mortgages these days. Go back a bit and the country would already be creaking from current rate rises
With that being so then why keep raising them every few weeks?
They're not 'fixed' for the life of the mortgage though like they are in other countries. Many people must be coming to the end of their fixed term and will face much steeper rises.We’re also fortunate that more people are on fixed mortgages these days.

Me. Monthly payments literally just went up almost 50%.
I was fortunate in that my house value had gone up 33% in 3 years so only had to pay about an extra 16% a month, still a lot of money though when taken with every other price increase.

SameIm in a very fortunate position that I can absorb this stuff. I really fear for the people I know who can’t.
British Gas doubled our energy tariff and we come off our fixed rate mortgage next summer. Hence a season ticket for the football is in a spot of doubt
Agreed, why should I be responsible for paying for the lender's subsequent actionsGot to be honest. I don’t get when mortgage rates are variable in the first place. I borrowed the money years ago, why does todays rate matter?
Yeah energy is killing me too and I barely use anything.
Dave Ramsey advises his followers to borrow no more than 75% for 15 years. The rest will still be paying their's off in their 70s.ps In the US people Im guessing people just won’t move at the moment as they’ll be going onto a new 6.5-7% fixed for 30 years !
Sunak's got the midas touch. Turns up at Southampton and they get relegated
Isn't it funny how all the Southampton players had the jab and now they've been relegated, makes yer think dunnitMatt Le Tissier will be turning in his grave
As people have been asking for policy, came across this which apparently is the basis for the 2024 Labour Manifesto:

BSB/Ian look away now, the education bit is hardly inspiring. Some nice stuff especially on energy and industrial strategy though.
Wow, if only they'd of delivered a fraction of that in any of their previous tenures without crashing the economy, they would still be in power.As people have been asking for policy, came across this which apparently is the basis for the 2024 Labour Manifesto:

You’re right - that education bit is rubbish. Written by consultants, for consultants.As people have been asking for policy, came across this which apparently is the basis for the 2024 Labour Manifesto:

Not sure you can legitimately argue that stopping tax evasion (which in essence is what they are) is bad for the country?Wow, if only they'd of delivered a fraction of that in any of their previous tenures without crashing the economy, they would still be in power.
Time to vote "none of the above" as I'm getting so disillusioned with the state of British politics.
The Tories have proper fucked things up, but that Labour manifesto is so obviously under funded that its a joke.
Closing tax loopholes and removing non dom status just leads to an exodus of the wealthy, and they'd have to tax businesses out of existence to get close to funding that fairy tale manifesto.

If you seriously think Labour crashed the economy there’s no helping you TBH.
Non dom status is an exodus of wealth. They want all the benefits for zero contribution to the very society they benefit from. If cancelling non dom status means they clear off then goodbye. Same with tax avoidance, fuck em. Let some one else who pays their tax take their place. Same for companies like Amazon who avoid paying taxes on profits they earn in this country. Why should hard working people struggling in this country subsidise the pencil dicked narcissist dick shaped penis substitute rocket vanity project?Wow, if only they'd of delivered a fraction of that in any of their previous tenures without crashing the economy, they would still be in power.

Just to be clear non-doms DO pay tax on any money earned in this country, they are only exempt from money earned abroad.Non dom status is an exodus of wealth. They want all the benefits for zero contribution to the very society they benefit from.
