Hmmm, Sushil Wadhwani (former member of the Bank of England’s monetary policy committee) argues the current high yield on Gilts reflecting market participants sentiment about the UK Govt.'s economic planning, can be brought down by a change in narrative, even as she acknowledges that narrative itself is already skewed, when compared to the reality of comparative economic policies in the US & the UK.
The Q. is: can Labour change that narrative?

All the headlines about the Bank of England's decision to hold the base rate at 5.25% obscure the more interesting news from Threadneedle St today.
The BoE is set to sell a further £100bn in government bonds, which will make government borrowing more expensive, and so tighten the credit regime for us all. UK economic activity must be slowing markedly.

The interest the UK pays on its #publicdebt is rising, mainly due to around a quarter of all #gilts being indie-linked & therefore rising in cost in line with #Inflation.
You'll note on this (again) the UK is unusual
Whatever else is going on, the #Tories inability to find a workable strategy to combat inflation, allows them to continue arguing for fiscal #austerity... so no wonder they are not dong so much about inflation, it serves (again) their small state ideology (by other means).
