    Indeed and who is mainly to blame but the Con-Socialists but the dire Sunak and Javid/Boris who appointed him (despite his appalling record) and now the ever more appalling Starmer/Reeves.

    No wonder the Governor was so quick to blame Truss and Kwarteng when his Ponzi scheme looked set to collapse in 2022.

    BoE is ‘retiring’ it’s share of Gilts, – Good, but Gilts in issue are still rising, being bought by the market.

    Money Supply M4 here, looks little changed:

    The retired BoE Gilts, are being replaced by higher yielding new issued Gilts, so money is more expensive but available – for now, so long as the market believes UK government will keep paying its debts. Watch the Gilt yields.
