Ever since Gil Levin and Pat Straat’s iconic experiments on the Viking landers of 1976 the case for life on Mars has become compelling. Recent claims that a sample from “Cheyava Falls” collected by NASA’s Perseverance Rover carries biosignatures are no surprise. Life is everywhere and takes root whenever the right conditions prevail.

This collective decision of the Monetary Policy Committee to cut its policy rate last Thursday – when UK inflation is the highest in the G7, has been above 2pc for nine months and will soon be twice the official target – has further damaged the Bank of England’s credibility.
The seeping away of market confidence in the UK’s monetary policy regime, is now being laid bare in real time by the significant and growing gap between MPC interest rates and the cost of borrowing faced by the UK government – which has moved sharply UPWARD in recent days, contradicting the MPC's move.
The increasing divergence between between borrowing costs set by our central bank and the 30-year sovereign bond yield sounds like the kind of thing only financial nerds would be interested in noticing, let alone trying to understand.
But far from remote and arcane, such “rate-splitting” points to very significant threat to basic economic stability and the living standards of millions of people, at a time of growing financial peril – as I explain in this extended "When The Facts Change" post.
