![](https://images.advfn.com/static/default-user.png) Commentary from Mann is rather exasperating. Explaining she switched from persistent hawk, pushing against the rest of the BoE MPC to re-raise by 0.25%, to suddenly wanting a 0.5% cut. Because it has finally dawned on her the UK is facing economic weakness more pressing than inflation. No hint of an apology for calling it wrong the last few years.
You stupid moo, you are supposed to forecast and drive the economy by looking ahead, not steer by studying the carnage left behind you in the rear view mirror.
It is not just difficulties with modelling and forecasting data which the BoE is facing. They deserve some sympathy for that, ONS and other reports unreliable on all sorts of key measures often subject to massive corrections. It is incompetent judgement, detached academic theorists and feeble civil servants.
Her gloomy assessment of prospects for jobs and demand not helping markets while Trump looks to bully the rest of the world in to line with his personal agenda.
And no. The Supreme Court is not going to do LLOY or anyone else any favours. |
"Most economists expect growth will pick up throughout the remainder of the year"
Most economists also get their forecasts wrong.
The recession does not really kick in until after the tax rises in April - it will take until then to effect large scale redundancies with the statutory consultancy periods. Then given the BOE forecast of inflation at 3.7% the unions kick in their mostly kicking at an open door - public sector wage demands - then wage based inflation takes off. Interest rate cuts get forgotten and rises are back on the table .... |

Support SouthFront
There are more and more signs of the possible contacts between Moscow and Washington but the doomed Kiev regime has failed to play strongly and achieve any victories on the battlefields so far.
The recent large-scale attacks by the Ukrainian army led to another defeat in the Russian Kursk region. Having lost hundreds of soldiers and dozens of military vehicles, including precious tanks from NATO, Ukrainian forces did not expand their zone of control southeast of Sudzha and failed to gain new footholds.
The Russian troops continue the mop up operations and counterattack, repelling the remaining Ukrainian soldiers from the forest areas near Cherkasskaya Konopelka and Fanaseevka. Ukrainians have been trying to evacuate the wounded from the area for several days now.
According to the latest reports from the front, the Russian military secured its control of Fanaseevka and completed the mop up operations in the forest south of the village.
East of Cherkasskaya Konopelka, Russian troops are advancing near the local dam.
The standoff persists in all directions in the Kursk region. The Russian army increases pressure on the western flank of the Ukrainian grouping in Sudzha. According to the latest reports from the battlefield, they secured their foothold in the western part of the village of Sverdlikovo. Ukrainian forces are hiding behind the local river in the eastern part of the village. Sverdlikovo is a key stronghold of the Ukrainian army, control of which will pave the way for further Russian offensives on Sudzha from the west.
According to estimates by the Russian Defense Ministry, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have already lost about 60,000 people in battles in the Kursk region. Heavy Ukrainian losses are confirmed by footage in the region.
Despite the ongoing defeats both in the Kursk region and in the Donbass, the Ukrainian military command continues sending reinforcements to Russian territory. Over 320 additional fighters from Ukrainian airborne assault units with more armored vehicles were reportedly deployed to the border region of the Russian Federation in recent days. The numerous reserves thrown into Kursk battles have not changed the frontlines so far but the head of the Kiev regime Zelensky is still betting on the bloody attacks on Russian soil hoping for some political benefits. In his recent interview Zelensky called the Kursk operations of the Ukrainian army “very beautiful.”
In February of 2024, the Russian army took control of a large number of cities and towns on the Donbass frontlines. They include Avdeevka, Ugledar, Selidovo, Kurakhovo, Velikaya Novoselka, etc, not to mention dozens of smaller villages. The last large Russian victory is the liberation of Toretsk. In its turn, the Kiev regime keeps losing its military units with NATO tanks in its ‘beautiful operations’, proud of its control of a small town named Sudzha on Russian territory.

I despair - why are kids nowadays taught that life is just a game? |
King Charles has given Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer a guided tour of his environmentally friendly, sustainable housing project in Cornwall, in a rare joint visit.
Deputy PM and Housing Secretary Angela Rayner was also part of this unusual, high-powered gathering, as they toured houses, a school and orchard in Nansledan.
The King wanted to show them a project that brings together traditional building materials, sustainable living and training projects. But as monarch the King has to avoid getting drawn into party politics. So stay out of politics Charlie! |
He had any ? |
Pathetic. Beyond daft. You have lost credibility. Tarra |
