If Rishi Sunak really wants to talk about degrees that do not provide value for money, he should ask why almost every economics degree in the UK is taught on the basis of wholly false and obviously ludicrous assumptions about how the world works.

Love that the new Wolves sleeve sponsor is basically impossible to find on Companies House, the 6686 website hasn’t been built yet; and the company they say they are part of was fined £360k for money laundering in March. Sounds legit
what this? it’s just an article from the year 2000 about suella fernandes, president of the cambridge university conservative association, who was accused of vote rigging and responded with a reassuring “you can’t prove anything”
I think the BoE use this more as a signalling tool, and fully realise this inflation is supply-side driven. By looking like they are doing something, in their eyes they are helping manifest the expectation that things will ‘return to normal’ at some point 🤷♂️
I'm no economist, but I struggle with the logic behind base rate rises currently. Inflation seems supply-side driven - but rate rises dampen demand.
Then again the BoE is charged with bringing down inflation and this is it's only tool. So it has to do it. Co-ordinated effort with govt would help.
Any economists out there, what's your view.
