    Great stuff Richard, I wondered whether yur readers might be aware of this event I was notified about by email (link to register posted below) – I can’t attend as I’m already booked elsewhere:

    Dear Citizens’ Forum members
    The Bank’s Chief Economist Huw Pill will be hosting a live Q&A on Monday 7 November at 5pm. This will focus on the Monetary Policy Committee announcement due on the 3 November. If you would like to join the event to put your questions to Huw please register using this link – Q&A with Huw Pill
    On 3 November 2022 the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) will announce their latest Bank Rate decision and publish their economic forecasts in the Monetary Policy Report. In this Q&A session, Huw Pill, Chief Economist and member of the MPC, will be available to answer your questions and talk you through the steps the Bank of England is taking to combat the rise in cost of living.
    This event is virtual and will be hosted on MS Teams Live, joining details will be shared upon registration.
    Thank you again for your continued support and for those who have joined us recently in Belfast, Edinburgh and Cardiff. We will be announcing further panel dates shortly.
    Best wishes

    Even at 60 years of age it’s an absolute pleasure to read and listen to Richard , I know very little about economics but I’m getting there thanks to Richard .

    Excellent interview Richard! More “plain speaking” like this is desperately needed. It’s odd that while the media loves the cheap drama from conflict, when it comes to economics, and especially government finance, the (Thatcherite/neoliberal) orthodoxy is hardly ever contested in the main news programmes.
