Rising inflation due the falling value in Sterling is an excuse for the BoE not to raise rates as it's only 'temporary'. When that's resolved there will be another reason as it's been going on since 2008. Surely the interest rates should be automatically linked to inflation and not protecting banks and debtors...
Oh and if they take in all costs not just food and everyday expenses, then in reality it's probably already above 5%.

But then that would accelerate the economic slow-down and set us on course for recession.
Caught between a rock and a hard place.
And this is only the start of the economic woes to come, precipitated by Brexit voting cretins.
