Here are the views of the Faculty's @jagjit_chadha ahead of tomorrow's Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee making a decision about the Bank Rate, now he has joined the 'Shadow MPC' at @CityAM:

[Jagjit S. Chadha @jagjit_chadha]

My personal views on @bankofengland MPC decision this week for the "Shadow MPC" at @CityAM and @MauricioFCA_ in advance of this week's decision.

These are my normative views without discussion with other members or formal interaction with modelling or modellers. So perhaps should be thought of as an opening gambit!
