which moron left the tories in charge of the turkish economy Inflation in Turkey surges to 83% Published 4 hours ago Share please log in to view this image IMAGE SOURCE,GETTY IMAGES Image caption, Some of the highest price rises have been in the food sector By Merlyn Thomas BBC News Inflation in Turkey has climbed above 83% - a 24-year-high. The transport, food and housing sectors have seen the biggest rise in prices. Independent experts the Inflation Research Group estimate the annual rate is actually 186.27%. Last year Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan took the unorthodox step of cutting interest rates to try to boost the economy. Most central banks raise interest rates to fight inflation. The transport sector saw the sharpest increases in annual prices at 117.66%, followed by food and non-alcoholic drinks at 93%. Mr Erdogan has described interest rates as "the mother and father of all evil", and his economic policies include intervening in foreign exchange markets. Last year's cut in interest rates from 19% to 14% has led to a fall in the value of the Turkish lira, which means it costs more for the country to import goods from abroad. The lira, meanwhile, hit a new record low of 18.56 against the US dollar. US Banking giants JP Morgan said Turkey's inflation would remain in the "abnormally high range until policies get orthodox". Can tourism ease the inflation pressure in Turkey? Why currency crash does not worry Turkey's Erdogan "We will build the century of Turkey together, hopefully by overcoming the inflation issue," said Mr Erdogan in a televised address on Monday. The record high is the sharpest inflation surge since World War Two, according to former Turkish central bank chief economist Hakan Kara. High inflation and the economic crisis is the main problem facing Mr Erdogan's ruling party, as he looks to secure another term in next year's election. Prices are rising quickly around the world, due to factors including Covid-related supply shortages and the Ukraine war, which has driven energy and food prices higher. More on this

Great to see Rebekahkah Vardy utterly skewered on legal costs by the High Court. 1.5 million to be paid to Coleen Rooney which is calculated on an indemnity basis, highly unusual, because Vardy was found to have destroyed evidence.
Demonstrators blocking roads around Westminster, coppers standing around doing sweet FA. Members of the public would be arrested. Apparently demonstrators are something different in the eyes of the police. But not in the eyes of the law surely? Why don't the police drag them off the road?
Very good article here.... Putin deposed, Russia broken up, and NATO in a face-off with China: As Ukraine sees a path toward victory and a desperate Vladimir hits the panic button, expert argues THIS is how the war could end Putin has spent the last week ramping up his war in Ukraine, from 300,000 conscripts to nuclear threats But his bluster is aimed at hiding the fact that Russia is losing the war, as Ukraine recaptures territory Alp Sevimlisoy, of Atlantic Council think-tank, spoke to MailOnline about what Russian defeat could look like Putin would not survive the defeat, he argues, while Russia itself could break up leaving the West competing with China over the spoils and NATO in a face-off with Beijing Land grabs, hundreds of thousand of conscripts thrown on to the front lines, and a nuke for anyone who dares stand in his way: Vladimir Putin has spent the past week doubling down on his war in Ukraine. But his bluster belies a simple fact: Russia is losing the war, and he knows it The despot is desperate. His army is in tatters, his battleplans shot, he's burning through his cash reserves at an unsustainable rate, and winter is looming. Meanwhile Ukraine's army continues to advance across the country, giving Kyiv a viable path to victory. Which begs the question: What happens if Russia is beaten? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...e-war-end-Putin-deposed-Russia-broken-up.html
Not sure "Moving on up " was the right song for your walk on at the conference Liz. Look at the lyrics, then sack your advisors
Just proves the points that Liz Truss looks at the surface only and not at the detail underneath. Politicians brought up on sound bites and spin gives us a hollow and shallow government. The Nation hits back … “You've done me wrong, your time is up You took a sip from the devil's cup You broke my heart, there's no way back Move right out of here, baby, go on pack your bags”
