    Some economists have projected that both the U.S. and parts of Europe could slip into a recession for a portion of 2023. A global recession, defined as a contraction in annual global per capita income, is more rare because China and emerging markets often grow faster than more developed economies. Essentially the world economy is considered to be in recession if economic growth falls behind population growth.

BoJo was bad ruling this country, but Liz Truss will be even worse: the Queen died, the pound plummeted, there is soaring double-digits inflationary pressures which is undercutting purchasing power for all, more income inequality meaning the rich will be wealthier and middle income will fall to borderline poverty due to the tax cuts for high income earners.

    Agreed. I also think a recession and rising rates was going to cause a fall in housing prices, regardless of the Budget. In fact the removal of stamp duty and other taxes is completely supportive of house prices, so seems strange to blame the government for the inevitable fall in house prices.

He helped to throw £39 billion to fund a ‘track and trace’ system.....that never worked, and you think he did a great job? His own billionaire wife didn’t pay any UK income tax, takes millions in profits from Russia and he kept his US green card going so he could return to his mansion in LA (which he now has!).

    Another strange, wishy-washy style summary of what’s really going on. Real questions ought to be: Cutting taxes for the super rich when there is a 20% real inflation? How does that help? And why raise IR only now when inflation has been on the rise since QE has been implemented. Does she know anything about basic economics or is she just there to help the super rich? Also, the “aggressive” IR raise mentioned would need to be at least 20% to have any impact, just like it was pre-Thatcher. .75 basis points is not going nowhere near stopping inflation. Also: “Britain is not the only one by any means.” Really? Is that what will comfort the general population? The Swiss however, seem to be doing pretty well-and why? They are not over leveraged like the UK is!

    Tax cuts for the 'super wealthy' has little to no impact on inflation. The majority of consumer spending comes via the middle and lower class, to this degree a 20% to 19% income tax change will have a greater impact on inflation than dropping the rate from 45% to 40% for additional rate taxpayers. To your second point about a 20% IR rise, this kills off demand for goods and services, the expectation is that demand is going to fall off anyway for the UK consumer whilst prices are already expected to fall into next year, so increasing the interest rate too heavily could cause more damage than it needs to. This inflation isn't wholly demand driven so throwing the kitchen sink at killing off demand is a dangerous game and could over-do it, it has been caused by supply chain disruptions primarily, with a degree of pent up demand and increase to the amount of savings the average consumer has because of the pandemic (this is demand side but less weighting than supply chain problems). The UK has the 2nd best Balance Sheet of the G7 nations so is in a reasonable position to borrow money comparatively to other nations. There is terrible sentiment already in the UK about the coming winter so lower demand for products is already largely built in. If inflation self-corrects next year because supply chains sort themselves out naturally and expectations of global recession (supply up demand down) then all these dramatic rate hikes will have been more detrimental than helpful. You can already see this in oil prices and other commodities. This is why the inflation was originally expected to be 'transitory' which it could be, just that it lasts a little while longer than expected. Also to your last comment 'is that what will comfort the general population?'. What is the goal of the government/BOE here? To properly address the issues at hand or make the average person who understands nothing about economics feel better? It's easy to raise your pitch forks about the problems that are going on rather than engage your mind and look at the actual data. This wasn't intended to be a personal attack on your comment just seemed an apt place to explain.

    ​@@northyrs7240 If tax cuts for the super wealthy have no impact, why even consider putting them into effect? And why promote it as some big achievement on behalf of the government? That was my point. Maybe it was not clear. To your comment regarding killing off demand: Demand is already low and is being kept alive artificially through subsidies such as QE (which is, essentially a tax on the population) and negative interest rates. Inflation will not subside and inflation is what is stifling demand in the first place, the higher the prices, the less purchasing power there is. to that comes to devaluation of the currency, also stifling demand. To your point about the UK's balance sheet: It's useless to pat ourselves on the back about how great the balance sheet is amongst nations of the G7, when most nations are even worse shape and bankrupt. It also contradicts the current socio-economic situation with the so-called "cost of living crisis" and the fact that distribution of wealth indicators have moved miles apart, the gap between rich and poor growing year by year further (and now the tax cuts). Furthermore, the UK’s net capital stock was estimated at £4.5 trillion in the 2020 government report, increasing by 0.6% compared with 2019 in chained-volume measures, which is significantly below the average increase of 1.5% between 2010 and 2020 and was the lowest growth rate since 2015, when annual growth was 0.3%--Scarcely the indicators of a fantastically healthy balance sheet. Moreover, the "inflation-is- self-correcting" argument is something that has been used since 2009, when the first QE policies have been enacted and were meant as a temporary "emergency measures", an emergency that has lasted for well over a decade now ...has it self-corrected? No. Also: how is it meant to "self correct"? There is only one body able to regulate inflation and that's the national bank, the BoE. Are they really doing anything to rein in inflation? No. It's getting worse, as more money is being printed. Inflation is a tax that is paid by the poor and welcomed by the rich or as Friedman put it: "Taxation without legislation." or as Hemingway put it: "The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists." With war and inflation both in full motion, one cannot help but come to the conclusion that the truth has been laid bare. To your point about the government's role: Yes, they have full responsibility towards the general population when it comes to monetary policy, including those who understand nothing about economics. So yes, if you have no understanding of basic economics, you think the responsibility lies in the hand of the economy or the people...or the tooth fairy, for that matter, sure. Government and party policies are sacred, everyone who questions them is uneducated and knows nothing about economics--a statement that authoritarian regimes have used and continue using today. As to your last point about raising pitch forks: I look at the actual data every day and the reality on the ground. Maybe you should do the same and take your head out of the sand for starters, instead of writing demeaning and patronising comments. Real inflation figures are almost never given by the government, especially because they continuously change the composition of the CPI, to suit their statistics. So it's the CPLIE, not the CPI. When a year and a half ago energy and petrol spending was roughly 150,- quid a month and now it it's more than double that, yes I will raise my pitch fork-- and so should you unless you still think that inflation is somehow accidentally bestowed on the British people because of Putin's war and the cost of living crisis! This was not mean to be a personal attack, either, just an apt place to explain further.

In contrast, the tax cut is expected to have a 5 year cost of 45 billion, in addition to many more billions in lost revenue from the cancelled corporate income taxes. So really, of course 13 Billion in spending has a negligible effect on the economy as opposed to the lost productivity of allowing billions to sit in the accounts of the rich. The Marginal Propensity to spend is much lower with the rich than even the middle class, so allowing them to retain obscene wealth is damaging to an economy.
