To be fair 0.5% for the month would 6% pa if annualised. The problem at the moment is it’s the bond yields increasing cost of borrowing meaning less money to spend (unless you tax more….or print more/debase currency)….and these are being impacted by tariff/global mess

I agree though it doesn’t make too much sense making important decisions based on shit short term data from ONS. Still good news at face value though

It’s that if that gives me pause. History tells me its more likely to be cancelled out next month than compounded.

Govt should be looking at 5-10 year trends and making decisions and budgets based on that, not chopping and changing with the wind.

Especially when the monthly figures are more often than not later 'revised'

The rail minister has admitted using his mobile phone while driving a vintage double-decker bus through London at rush hour.

Have you ever read a more British sentence. No doubt he'll keep his job although how the fuck Hendy wasn't fired for some of the other shit he's got up to is beyond me.
