          The pound rose on the news of inflation as markets priced in a possible interest rate rise.
          Problem is that an interest rate rise will reduce consumer spending even more and slow down growth.
          And that will cause the pound to fall.

          Hard Brexit now!

            It was a quote that is perfect in so many of the arguments where facts are ignored in favour of religiously believing, or just burying heads in the sand and laughing.

            Possibly your best post/find in a long time.

              Indeed the DUP looks likely to torpedo public pay restraint at a time when inflation is running at between 3 and 4 %. This inflation is directly caused by the Brexit vote. Either inflation takes off or the BOE has to shove up interest rates which when combined with Brexit is going to be economically painful, .....very painful !!

              The window for Brexit was around the early 2000's when the UK could have afforded to do it. It's pretty clear that Brexit will collapse and the government will be booted out.

                Or perhaps the inflation is due to lack of faith in the pound because of the out of control greed of the public sector. So if we cut public sector pay, then we get deflation and the public sector will still be better off. Win win. Also makes for a more equal society.

                P.S. The bank of England promised to raise interest rates of we voted for brexit. I think their duplicity might be the underlying problem.

                  Au Contraire. It hit the nail perfectly on the head regarding your lack of smarts.

                  A tad unflattering from your point of view admittedly, but factually bang-on.

                      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
