It will be interesting to see what happens to inflation, given the National Minimum Wage has just gone up by 10% and EU import checks have just come in that will see further increases on prices. I'm expecting inflation to flatline and so this could prevent cuts in interest rates. Boat people...

After the incoming disaster will Sunak trot out the standard "Mid-term elections are always difficult for incumbent governments" when we are almost four and a half years into this parliament? I fancy he will.
