@HansMahncke You're right. I think we're embarrassed to tell Trump we've all got bone spurs. Maybe they'll be better in time for the next war though, eh?
@RichardJMurphy Simply not increasing interest rates, and instead reducing them, would leave the govt with more money anyway. Rather than getting people to pay more in interest, why not convert that payment instead to taxes. Never understood why that's not been considered.
@RupertLowe10 If the BBC edited something to give the general impression of what somebody intended, it's mad. Because the Telegraph, Times, Daily Mail, Express, Guardian, Mirror etc would never, ever do this.
@TiceRichard Richard. Can you please provide proof that humans aren't impacting the global balance and that humanity won't suffer if we continue burning carbon fuels at scale?
@Peston Decrease the interest rate, increase taxes. Why is it up to only borrowers to regulate the amount of money in the system? Taxes would be put to better use funding public (IE shared) services, or simply paying back some debt.
@dodgson_sally The problem here is we hold ourselves to account way more than the others. I agree with you. But this would be chicken feed if it was Boris.
