Brilliant. This means that cat homes and donkey sanctuaries all over Britain will get more money. And you people who are struggling to pay your already outrageously expensive mortgages. f*** you.

They've only gone back up to where they were 15months ago. Most people are on fixed rate mortgages anyway so they wont notice the difference...its only the beleaguered savers that would take any notice of this...not that it'd make much difference to their income.

Should never have gone down after the referendum. That was done in light of the impending recession and end of days, which never materialised.

Interest rates should be left to the market to establish, not be set by a Canadian doom merchant and his cronies.
We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell] |

I think 3% would be fairer and bring savers back. It would also make an impact on our binge culture, insane property prices etc. The 17% interest rate that Mrs Thatcher brought in would if repeated now, make life quite interesting !!

So do quite a lot of people as moving a quarter of a percent is so negligible. Moreso when it's unnecessary, as it was in 2016.

Well I suppose we are better off than the beleaguered countries in the Euro Zone like Greece and Spain who can't control their own interest rates at all and basically have to have rates that suit Germany.
