So the last few week's shitshow has had little effect?

Why the u turn then?

As far as inflation, interest rates and unemployment, no.

Politically, it’s a car crash.

The U.K. has one of the lowest rates of unemployment in the developed economic world. Do you know if other countries use the same matrix?
It seems that the positive economic signs are maligned but others that the government has little control over are exaggerated.

Would have helped if you answered my questions 

As for other countries matrix, no I  don't know, but given I don't know how this country works them out then there's cock all chance I'll know now Liechtenstein do

Yes we've been here before, I think he just likes the wind ups to be honest.

No wind up. Maybe you could explain to DS why it’s the party not the person.

To be fair every Govt since day one has used interpretations of data to massage figures. 
We do have historically low rates at the moment. Zero contract people will not be included. At the moment the bigger issue is filling lower paid jobs. 

Interest rates shooting up was just a coincidence.

Not yet. Interest rates will largely be governed by what happens in America. That’s always been the case and always will be. This is what’s happening in the US. It’s what’s coming here. Not good news for anyone with a mortgage.

Didnt know as thought a good way to massage any figures would be to include them

The last interest rate rise by the BOE was 22nd September.

American rates are not what we are talking about. Keep trying to distract

Are you saying that interest rates being offered on mortgage deals to borrowers in this country have not been affected by the shit show ? 
Assume you have a solid background in how banks and building societies price their mortgages ?

Mortgage interest rates.

American interest rates will determine interest rates in this country and many others. Mortgage rates being offered will change depending on many factors. Most people with a mortgage will not be affected by current offers. They will be affected by the global trend in interest rate rises. They are coming. Nothing this government or any alternative will alter that.

You’ll have to clarify. The BOE raised rates in September as I said. Mortgage providers follow but not immediately. Global rates are going up.

Mortgage providers increased rates thee instant the mini budget was released.

But yeah, just a coincidence.

So no you do not.

If you are saying last weeks shit show had no impact you are 100% wrong. 
Fixed rate mortgage prices are not linked to BOE rate so that is not relevant 

The facts are as a direct result of the announcement events last week the mid term market rates went up so much the BOE had to intervene. 
These rates are what are used price fixed term mortgages and as a direct result have gone up. This is factual. If you want to argue interest rates would have had to rise eventually you would IMO be 100% right.

You know nowt.

Anyone who wants to work can get work, there is no reason zero contract hours folk can’t find 40 hours work if they wish, why would they be included in unemployment figures when there is more than enough work to go round and some.

Do you agree that global pressures on interest rates have and will have more of an impact than anything that happened last week or anything that this or any other government does?

I'm willing to bet one thing.

In a parallel universe where we'd have voted Labour and Milliband instead of Conservative and Cameron (and then stuck with them) - the country would be in a hell of a better state than it is right now. Which is quite frankly a fucking basket case.

From when Cameron got in after labours last failure and 2008 recession I’ve been doing well. Just need to look at the cities skylines to see how much work has been going on. Since 2010
