        @BBCBreaking The fact that they don't give a damn about the record trade deficits also points to a zombie economy.

        @BBCBreaking It has to be gradual as anything else would bust us again. We have no real recovery. Interest rates point to this fact. #liars

        @Mclean_Tom_ higher mortgages for quite a few people which means less money in the real economy. And in some cases repossessions!

        @Mclean_Tom_ They won't go up fast. But if you have a mortgage and are worried about increased rates it might be worth going for fixed rate
