        where are these people studying economics and where the hell do they get the information for their forcasts from? The UK is virtually bnkrupt and so are most people. Taking more money out of the economy will slow what little growth thereis. Well done @BofE

        I remember alliance and Leicester now known as Santander paying 6% on savings back in 2006. I don’t think 0.75 will prompt people to start saving imo.

        Barely a fraction of the savers will any increase in rates being passed on to them whilst all variable tracker rates mortgages will rise.

        I'm sure if you take the interest saves gain, and compare that to the increased costs of borrowing and mortgage interest overall the people are paying alot more not saving.

        Let me guess...higher borrowing, lower savings. Again. We are in a Kleptocracy

        Even with the market factoring in #Brexit, does it mean that the economy is doing better than expected? The #BankofEngland has raised rates as it must expect inflationary pressures may build up in the economy in the medium term. Is Brexit really bad for the #UK? @lsebrexitvote

        It means the government have set their brexit model and it's not good.

        For the first time Carney has allowed himself to be duped by "the markets" into raising rates when the economy is still fragile. The only winners will be banks ripping people off and spivs playing the currency markets.
