I only picked up the last bit but sure the person speaking said the only way to break the inflation rate is for the bank to rise rates and force a recession.

Then they are way to slow, but suspect by October the rise in energy prices will cause many other parts of economy to go into reverse.
Even house prices.

A lot of people had payouts ,but fuel,food and electric costs are out of control of the person on the street.No one is supposed to have any money but look how many are heading off on holiday,the amount of folk buying holiday homes to let off that market is about to crash as over supply.It’s the folk on limited income pensions and benefit ( not always their fault) and low paid workers who are going to suffer.Not those with disposable income bevause they will keep spending.

Bank of England now run by a complete bunch of idiots. Seems like they only have one tool in the box to raise interest rates. Fine if the economy is overheated and excess cash needs taking out but hopeless if the economy is already in a downward spiral with consumers already strapped for cash thats how we ended up with the Great Depression. If they carry on with this nonsense that is certainly were we are heading.

Bank of England is only there to bail out the government by printing money, they have no influence on Bozo’s spending spree & crass decisions!

yup, its the bluntest tool in the box. Raising interest rates isn't going to do anything for input costs for day to day commodities whatsoever!

Government should never have ever been allowed to delegate control of interest rates to the B of E. It was shirking their ministerial responsibilities. Typical MPs these days, no backbone or responsibility.

From what I see inflation is mainly being caused by fuel , energy and food prices. Nothing under the control of Joe public, so how does screwing him going to help?

Apparently on news just now stated should of gone up way more!
But the policy was shown that it does not work the last time we had 18% interest rates. It was Carney who broke the bankers myth and slashed interest rates. Now the bankers have got the upper hand again with the appointment as governor one of their own. Bank profits will now surge through the roof financed by misery and bankruptcy of Joe Public.
