Economic storm clouds gathering in the UK

Economic fears have spread in recent weeks as indicators reveal mounting evidence that output may be stuttering.

People like us hardly notice it.

It's what they voted for. People like us hardly notice it.

True. They're so stupid they couldn't see this coming.

Whereas the rich (real rich, not contractors ) that funded/voted Brexit know how to make money from the turbulence.

Does the Chancellor still have to write a letter to the Guv of the BOE when inflation goes over a certain amount?

Yes, every month. But it is the governor who writes to the Chancellor and has been doing so each month for a while now. He just mails the Chancellor "refer to last month's report, nothing's changed".

Anecdotally, the cost of the weekly shop is increasing very fast again. The poorer sections of society are once again being stuffed.

If you look at the details most of that inflation is due to foreign holidays and imported computer games.

So forego one of the seven luxury holidays per year and don't buy a new Xbox One X

Sorted.

Not a seven month low - how will we recover?

Wont somebody think of the children!

They are. Soon their will be hyper-inflation with wage rises to match. Pensions and savings will be totally wiped out. Youngsters will be able to afford a house and throw the oldies on the scrap heap.
