    Extra £25bn to stimulate economy

    The Bank of England's rate-setters have decided to pump an extra £25bn into the economy in their quantitative easing (QE) programme.

    They also kept interest rates unchanged at 0.5% for an eighth month.

    The Bank has already spent £175bn on QE, which involves printing money to buy assets from banks and other companies to stimulate the economy.

      They'll need to do that to pay the huge bonuses to the people who declared all those banking redundancies in the past few days.
