    It’s great that you’ve got a foothold in The Mirror and are making the most of it.

    Excellent article clear and to the point. I believe even the dimmest of Johnson’s cabinet should have no problem in understanding what needs to be done.

    Read the Mirror Article from your embedded link and it was great. (Big Smiley Face Emoji).
    Later, I went to the Mirror Online directly and, low and behold, your article came up as the main, up front, article.
    Well done again!

    Interest rate rises have historically been used to increase the value of a currency and conversely interest rate cuts have historically been used to reduce the value of a currency.

    Sterling is already at very weak levels against the US Dollar and the US Dollar is the normal currency by which fossil fuels are priced.

    In the event that interest rates were cut wouldn’t that depress the value of sterling even further and fuel even higher fuel prices? If you do not think it would then what do you think has changed which has broken the link between interest rates and currency valuations?

      The US is pushing up rates faster than we are

      That is driving up the dollar and exporting its crisis to the developing world

      Will we be majorly out of line? no, not for long, because the US will be cutting rates soon too

      And then let’s ask what is more significant in the fall of the pind. Is ot trade wars or interest rates? I think the answer is obvious

    Heard your interview on BBC Radio Stoke. Excellent. You were on for a reasonable length of time which was good. Also, the presenter allowed you to speak and didn’t interrupt which certainly helped. The message is getting out there.

    Are you doing any other interviews with local stations?
