that's right, as we see the bank of england raising _ bank of england raising rates, generally those higher rates are going to benefit savers, but be less favourable for borrowers. so as you say, households with mortgages will see the mortgage is going up, may be some of the investment plans... the net impact of these effects is going to be a cooling of the uk economy. but could the banks do more to help us have more money in our bank accounts and has more comfort? the uk has very — accounts and has more comfort? tte: uk has very open and competitive banks in the system, i'm not sure i can comment much more than to say that these things do impact with a lag, and it will take time. we have also seen interest rates have been rising this year, and the full impact will only happen with a bit of a lag. this could be why... inaudible. the bank of england also warned that the typical energy bill will be £3500 by october, changes to the energy price cap will now be made every three months rather than every six months. every three months rather than every six months-— every three months

the first diving titles for england. good morning. the governor of the bank of england has defended the decision to raise interest rates, saying there's a "real risk" of soaring prices becoming "embedded". yesterday, the bank warned the uk will fall into recession as it raised interest rates by the largest amount in 27 years. the uk economy is forecast to shrink in the last three months of this year, as the bank predicts a recession that will last well into next year. the bank says that sharp increases in energy prices will push inflation to more than 13% — a 42 year high — and that the value of people's incomes is falling. one of the ways it can try to control inflation is to raise interest rates. this makes borrowing money more expensive which means we are less likely to spend — bringing prices down. that's the bank's justification for raising interest rates from 1.25% to 1.75% — the biggest rise since 1995. the governor of the bank of england, andrew bailey, told the today programme why raising interest rates

the governor of the bank of england has been speaking earlier at the bank of england press conference. cpi inflation is now expected to peak atjust over 13% in q for this year and remain and to remain at very elevated levels throughout much of 2023. the bulk of that further increase reflects higher wholesale prices feeding through to retail energy prices, with a further large rise in the off gem price gap projected in october. i should stress that our forecasts and projections take into account the new method announced by of gem this morning. so, you can see in the next chart, the direct impact of energy prices on cpi inflation in our recent forecasts, and the extent of the latest upward revisions. you will see the green line. i will come back to the dashed green line later because that shows an alternative projection which uses their full futures curve rather than the fixing of the line. but you can see obviously there are clearly what has gone on in recent forecasts, and i would emphasise also, i use the word direct impact of energy. of course it is not the total impact of energy. t

do chain has to flee to england. you get some dramatic stories like that. >> when the war is over and there is a new united states, how do these religious leaders on both sides of the atlantic trying to pick up the pieces of this ruined imperial protestantism? a really important piece of that story is the british side, i think. we have to remember that the british lost something, and they had to respond to that. so a piece of that was their choice over the course of the war to frame the colonists as treasonous and an religious. and to turn their attention to the people they saw as victims of the war. so for instance, people in the caribbean where there were blockades and they weren't getting enough food. they have to actively work to reshape that imperial protestantism, and they do. on the american side, it's a huge challenge, particularly for the former members of the church of england. and it takes years to fit that back together. this is also the moment when john wesley, who was the leader of the methodist piece o

we have to respect bank of england _ to respect bank of england independence. i wouldn't want the bank of england to come out and say what it did yesterday but the real world has intruded on this debate and it will be difficult. i speak as and it will be difficult. i speak as an mp, i am worried about what happens and what we need from a new prime minister elected in september is a firm grip on inflation, dealing with the challenges we face, not going on a multi—billion—pound burrowing giveaway which i think threatens to increase inflation and a key point to remember, those taxes that lose proposes to cut, the biggest beneficiaries will be energy companies. she will cut the rate of corporation tax, i don't think that's our priority. i support business but the priority must be focusing on inflation and helping families struggling with the cost of energy bills, and i think that is where the country is. haifa energy bills, and i think that is where the country is.— energy bills, and i think that is where the country is. how do you focus on inflation? _ where
