According to the Bank, real household disposable income and real post-tax labour income - two measures of the impact on families - will both fall sharply this year as those energy price rises feed through into the system.
The Bank slashed its forecast for gross domestic product growth next year from 1.25% to -0.25% - the closest it ever tends to come to forecasting a recession.

Interest rate raised to 1% by Bank of England despite issuing warning of recession
The Bank takes a big red pen to its earlier forecasts and sees a risk of economic contraction ahead as inflation is now predicted to surge to levels not seen for four decades.

Snap. And chief cook and bottle washer - unpaid, of course.
The only time I doff my cap to t'mill owner is when I look in the mirror.
It's better than living in the septic tank, though - there's less to clean.
I was round the kids place last weekend as their mother was away.
Their dishwasher has broken.
Two sinks full of dishes/plates etc.
One of the many reasons we separated in the end...!

Loads of jobs apparently. If only we had someone to do them............According to the Bank, real household disposable income and real post-tax labour income - two measures of the impact on families - will both fall sharply this year as those energy price rises feed through into the system.

I think that epitomizes the lack of interest in politics. I wish there was something that could be done to raise voter interest and attendance. Do children have lessons on democracy? They didn't when I was a teacher.
I take an interest in politics and I will always vote but feel that my vote is wasted. Solid blue Tory around here both locally and nationally. With an 80 seat majority I feel that nothing will change and they will just push everything through and f..k everyone.

Nothing to do with Brexit of course - all Covid related - but they seem to want us to believe Covid is over so how is that going to cause an issue in the future if its done and dusted? Also there are 27 other countries tied up in Brexit and who went through a pandemic - why are none of them predicting recession there?

And they claim that all our current economic problems are caused simply by covid.
The OBR (on whose figures this government base their budgets and predictions) tell us that brexit will twice as harmful as that.
Blame apportioning will be fun from now on.

The NI minister being questioned on NI and not quite understanding what we signed up to. Fuck knows what he thinks when we lose them from the Union.

He will assume that if NI joins RoI that will automatically entitle him to an Irish passport given his level of understanding

‘It’s bad but not that bad’ is the quote for today.
Yep, anything in life could be worse, and if you don’t pull your fingers out, it’s going to get a lot worse for many.

So far it’s looking like a bad day for the Conservatives but not quite the absolute carnage that some had predicted- many Conservatives did do themselves simply to lessen the ultimate impact. The interesting question now, however, is whether they hold and presumably lose both forthcoming by-elections on the same day, rip the plaster off in one go, or do they stagger them and prolong the agony.
I reckon they’ll hold them on the same day. One will likely go Liberal Democrat and the other Labour, and that’s when the Conservatives will start their full attack on their opponents’ non-aggression pact.

where it will get bad for Johnson is Scotland and NI - If the Tories disappear off the electoral map and Labour look like staging a bit of a comeback there and the DUP are destroyed in NI that will focus Tory view points as they will face challenges from there.
