@ChrisMayLA6 given the BOE has been pushing a policy of quantitive tightening...

Which is frankly bonkers.

@quixoticgeek

Indeed, I have a piece for North West Bylines out tomorrow noting that the current slowdown/recession which the media seems to be blaming on Reeves' budget actually has been largely (if not exclusively) caused by 18-24 months of BoE interest rate policy.... which commentators seem happy to ignore.


@ChrisMayLA6 yeah. I don't agree with Reeves on a lot of things. But we shouldn't be blaming her for something that's actually the BOEs fault. Unfortunately the media in general don't seem to know the difference.

I still don't understand why the BOE MPC gets to be so powerful on this.
