Detournement Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 The media narrative has already begun for another big interest rate hike. Maybe the government and the BoE are actually working together. You will own nothing and be happy! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone on a tracker mortgage should head for the exit immediately, in fact they should have done so and taken out a long term fixed when interest rates couldn't get any lower 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will however be a lot of fixes expiring, with pretty ugly increases. I'm in that position so am a bit sensitive too it. January I can renew, so now looking into what the early exit might be, given that Kwarteng and Truss have decided to provoke the BoE into more rises through their stupidity.

About a month ago I decided I wasn't waiting any longer and, thankfully, now already have an accepted offer in that I can sit on till March before moving on to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 From July.. Quote Interest rates will have to rise as high as 7 per cent to allow tax cuts, according to Liz Truss’s economic guru. Professor Patrick Minford said that despite fears over mortgages, higher interest rates were “a good thing” because they protected savings and killed off “zombie companies” that were holding the economy back. Truss cited Minford as one of the few economists who agreed with her as she attacked 20 years of “economic orthodoxy” this week and insisted that cutting taxes was not only affordable but essential to avoid a recession. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/liz-trusss-tax-cuts-equal-higher-interest-rates-admits-her-economic-guru-pgv57p5jz 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theyellowbox Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Genuine question. At what point do the British people get so angry that there is mass protests? And I don't mean the usual activists, but the normal man and woman on the street. If this were pretty much any other country, folk would be out kicking up a stink and demanding the government do something or force them out. A lot of folk have been unhappy for a long time, but assuming the penny has finally dropped for the Brexity folk, when do they get angry? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
