It is as predicted by this Blog, as well as many other more distinguished economic authorities, house price inflation is now, once again, out of control. This is entirely the fault of the Government, who instituted policies which could only lead to this outcome, but it is the responsibility of the Bank of England to […]
Oh Dear! Prince Philip has an international reputation for saying the wrong things at the wrong time, but they are usually lighthearted and with little or no diplomatic implications.

The forty points she did get were a reflection of […]
As this blog has warned time after time, rebuilding the economy on the back of a surge in house prices will be to guarantee another crash. Government ministers are rejoicing at the increasing forecasts of economic growth, putting the UK ahead of almost everyone else, while heedless of the warnings of almost every single forecaster that there […]
This proposed takeover has become a political hot potato in Britain, with all sides wading in across the ideological span, from state intervention to free markets. The potential problem, given that eventually Pfizer make a sufficiently attractive offer to tempt AZ investors, stems not from the specifics of this deal, but from the broken promises of the […]
