In past periods of high inflation, the Bank of England has not had to sustain interest rate hikes for any length of time in order to bring it under control because the UK has a history of having relatively high interest rates, which meant that the point at which rates became restrictive is reached relatively quickly. That has not been the case during the latest rise in inflation, since rates had been allowed to fall close to zero as price rises had become benign as the developed nations of the world recovered from several crises. However, during and just following the Pandemic, there was a huge increase in fiscal support which saw the public encouraged to spend. A classic example of this was then Chancellor Rishi Sunak eat out to help out scheme. Because rates had been cut to almost zero. It has taken a significant length of time for them to begin to restrict demand. In fact, even after hiking at every meeting for fifteen months, short-term rates are only now reaching a neutral point. This means that small and medium size businesses are facing rising costs due to as yet untamed inflation, as well as paying increased rates on their overdrafts and other working capital facilities.

The race to become the next British Prime Minister is heating up and while former Chancellor Rishi Sunak is still the favourite the momentum is with Boris Johnson. But the potential return of the divisive character to Number 10 could split the Conservative Party with former Tory leader William Hague describing it as the worst idea he's heard of.

In the week to end all weeks, we've lurched from the shortest prime ministerial era *ever* to the potential return of the last PM... who's only been an ex-PM for 45 days. The race to be our next Conservative Prime Minister is well and truly on (again!). Leader of the House of Commons Penny Mordaunt has already thrown her hat into the ring, and the rumour is that former Chancellor Rishi Sunak will follow too.

Andrew Bailey, the Governor of the Bank of England, is not yet two years into his eight-year term in office. He was appointed a week before the first coronavirus lockdown started, which meant that from day one in the role he was faced with unprecedented market conditions. As the markets were being battered by Covid, and the response to the Pandemic was being headed then Chancellor Rishi Sunak, Bailey initially flew under the radar. He didn't build the same relationships with the market that his predecessor, Mark Carney had done. As the Pandemic eased and inflation began to rise, Bailey found himself in the spotlight and was caught off guard by the pace at which prices began to rise and had to make unpopular decisions regarding interest rates. He didn't expect to be presiding over the end of an era of low interest rates, so was slow to react. Although the MPC began its current cycle of interest rate hikes last December, the initial move was unpopular despite being just fifteen basis points, since it came immediately before Christmas.

Former Foreign Secretary Liz Truss has been chosen as the new Prime minister, beating former Chancellor Rishi Sunak to replace Boris Johnson.  Although this has been a mediatised campaign that everyone in the UK  was aware of, less than 1% of the British public actually got a say in who would be the next PM as voting was only open Conservative party members.  How was Liz Truss Chosen? What will happen next?

On Tuesday night, Prime Minister Boris Johnson's premiership plunged into crisis following the dramatic resignations of Chancellor Rishi Sunak and Health Secretary Sajid Javid. They quit within minutes of each other on following a row over Mr Johnson's decision to appoint Chris Pincher as deputy chief whip earlier this year. After a further flurry of resignations on Wednesday morning, the prime minister faced fierce questioning in the House of Commons for what was sure to be a heated edition of PMQs. Following this, Sajid Javid spoke to the House to give his resignation speech after quitting as health secretary last night. With analysis from Editor of The House Magazine, Rosa Prince, and Parlimentary Correspondent Sean Curran.

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is this morning in the midst of a crisis of confidence in his leadership after latest revelations that he knew about sexual misconduct allegations against MP Chris Pincher, and promoted him to a high-ranking party role anyway. He had previously claimed he was not aware of the allegations. Boris Johnson has admitted he made a "bad mistake" by not acting on it. Chancellor Rishi Sunak and Health Secretary Sajid Javid resigned minutes after Mr Johnson's admission. In the last hour, the Conservative party's vice chair Bim Afolami has also resigned and he did it live on TV. Conservative MP Andrew Brigden summed up what many in the conservative party are feeling.

Kamil Sobala asked for directions after getting off a coach at Victoria station before being beaten unconscious when asked where he was from. UK inflation has risen further to 9.1%, the highest rate in 40 years as the cost of living crisis deepens. It's up from 9% in April to 9.1% in May, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) has said, with the increase being driven largely by the increase in food prices, which added more than 0.2 percentage points to the inflation number. Chancellor Rishi Sunak sought to reassure people that he will be able to reduce inflation but did not reject a prediction from many economists that the UK is heading for recession. Inflation is the rate of increase in prices for goods and services. If a loaf of bread costing £1 rises in price by 5p, the bread inflation is 5%..

Short-term pain relief for the British economy, which some fear will send us back to the 1970s, Chancellor Rishi Sunak has announced a £400 discount on all energy bills as a temporary fix to help measure the cost of living, while also stating that we will get through it. Labour's shadow chancellor, Rachel Reeves, has stated that second homeowners should not receive additional benefits from the energy bill discount, she suggested a longer-term plan was needed to keep household energy costs down.

Sue Gray's report into Downing Street partying during Covid lockdowns has finally been published, and it's left the Prime Minister battling for political survival.We'd already seen that fuzzy shot of Boris Johnson with a glass held aloft, and now there's more images featuring convivial drinks and food, one of which features Chancellor Rishi Sunak.The top civil servant's report criticises what's described as an “excessive” drinking culture in Whitehall, which often broke lockdown rules when the rest of Britain was under house arrest, as well as other revealing shocking treatment of cleaning and security staff.The report will make galling reading for many Britons, particularly those prevented from seeing sick relatives because of the rules.At PMQs Mr Johnson repeated his apologies, and said he took responsibility, while Scottish National Party leader Ian Blackford led calls for him to resign. The Evening Standard's political reporter Rachael Burford has been covering developments as they happened.She examines what the Gray report means for the PM's political future and how Downing Street is trying to deflect attention away from the scandal.

Boris Johnson has been fined by the police for attending a birthday party thrown for him during a Covid lockdown. The prime minister confirmed he had paid the fixed penalty notice for going to the hour-long gathering in the Cabinet Room on 19 June 2020. Chancellor Rishi Sunak and the PM's wife were also fined for the same event, and confirmed they had paid. All three apologised for attending, but neither Mr Johnson or Mr Sunak offered to resign. Opposition parties are calling for the Commons, which is currently on Easter recess, to be recalled. Figures out on Tuesday showed Americans are being hit by higher prices of oil and many other products and services. Prices climbed at their highest rates since 1981, rising 8.5% over the year to the end of March. We hear from Steve H. Hanke, professor of applied economics at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. Also in the programme, we look at Tesla and one influence on the company that is only now beginning to be noticed is that of fanbots - automated posts on Twitter that seem to be designed to move the share price - especially at times when the stock is under pressure. David Kirsch, a professor at the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business, explained how they had come to his attention. Plus - we travel to São Tomé and Príncipe, a country on the sharp end of climate change - the BBC's Tamasin Ford finds out how the island - the entirety of which is a massive volcano - is home to lush, tropical rainforest and some of the most important biodiversity in Africa; Príncipe is a UNESCO biosphere because of its unique environment. But despite being breathtakingly beautiful, it's poor with the smallest economy on the continent and around 90% of its budget comes from foreign donors, topped up by tourism - we hear how the pandemic has affected this vital part of the economy. Perhaps the biggest threat to the nation though is rising sea levels; in São Tomé and Principé, 4% of the land mass has already been lost to the Atlantic Ocean with entire houses being washed away; Tamasin visits one in Principé. The country is already doing what it can - more than two thirds of the islands are protected national parks and by the end of this year the government hopes to have written into law the country's first ever marine protected areas, but will it be enough?

The Prime Minister Boris Johnson, his wife and the Chancellor Rishi Sunak have all received fixed penalty notices for attending a birthday gathering for the PM in No 10. As a result, Mr Johnson became the UK's first serving prime minister to be sanctioned for breaking the law. All three apologised, but opposition MPs say the PM and Mr Sunak must quit. The government has faced intense pressure over gatherings held in and around Downing Street during Covid lockdowns.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his most senior minister Chancellor Rishi Sunak have been fined for breaking lockdown laws. It comes after a string of breaches of Covid-19 restrictions at his residence on Downing St, in the form of multiple parties, including an alleged impromptu birthday party for Boris Johnson. The Prime Minister's wife Carrie Johnson has also been fined. Opposing parties are calling for the leaders to resign - but the conflict in Ukraine may be saving the leaders from scrutiny. London correspondent Olly Barratt spoke to Susie Ferguson.

With over 100 million record sales, an Academy Award, an Emmy, a Grammy, three Golden Globes and an award from The Council of Fashion Designers of America, very few artists have a catalogue that matches the iconic Cher. A new musical, touring the UK - “The Cher Show” - tells the story of the Goddess of Pop's meteoric rise to fame. The director and choreographer behind the show are two Strictly Come Dancing legends - Arlene Phillips and Oti Mabuse. They both join Emma to discuss the new show and their own careers. In August 2018, Kylie Moore-Gilbert, an Australian-British academic travelled to Iran to attend a seminar and conduct academic research. It was her first visit to the country. At Tehran airport on her way back home to Australia, she was arrested by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Accused of espionage, she was imprisoned and later convicted and given a ten year sentence. She spent over two years in prison, half of it in solitary confinement. She was released in November 2020 as part of a prisoner exchange deal negotiated by the Australian government. She's written about those 804 days, in a new book The Uncaged Sky, and speaks to Emma from Melbourne. The Chancellor Rishi Sunak, his wife Akshata Murty and their finances have been in the headlines for several days now. Emma gets the latest from the woman behind the story, Economics Editor for the Independent Anna Isaac. Anna broke the news that Ms Murty was a 'non-domicile' resident - meaning she doesn't have to pay tax to the UK authorities on any income that she earns outside Britain, something that is entirely legal. 48 hours after the story broke last Wednesday, Ms Murty announced that she would pay UK taxes on her worldwide income. The actor Sienna Miller has said she took the step of freezing some eggs at 40, following the pressure she felt to have more children. Professor Imogen Goold has been looking into how women make decisions to delay fertility including in this way – and she questions the assumption often made in the media and in medicine that women are not properly informed, and make poor decisions about how long they can wait to have children. Imogen joins Emma to discuss, ahead of a lecture she is giving at Gresham College called Freezing Eggs and Delaying Fertility: Law, Ethics and Society, at 1pm on Monday 11 April. It can be viewed online for free. Professor Imogen Goold is Visiting Professor of Medical Law at Gresham College, and Professor of Medical Law at Oxford University.

The Chancellor Rishi Sunak talks inflation, energy prices, taxes… and Will Smith.

He also likens his difficult week to Hollywood star Will Smith's after his wife received unwanted attention. This edition of Newscast was made by Danny Wittenberg, John Murphy and Chris Flynn. The editor was Alison Gee.

The Chancellor Rishi Sunak says wants to help people so has announced a whole raft of measures that won't really help anyone. Although, maybe, in a way, isn't that helping us all to band together in the understanding that he's massively rubbish?

Less than a week after making his Spring Statement, the Chancellor Rishi Sunak has been defending his financial decisions today at a meeting of the Treasury Committee.He's been questioned about the support available for people receiving benefits, after announcing a series of measures which will largely benefit those in work.But, as the energy price cap rises by around 54% from April 1st, inflation continues to rise and fuel remains at an all time high, despite a 5p fuel duty cut, those unable to work are unsure how they will cope with the cost of living crisis.We spoke with Strategy Director at the Trussell Trust food bank charity, Garry Lemon, about:His reaction to the Spring Statement (2.35)The ‘devastating' consequences for people on Universal Credit (3.33)How the crisis will ‘inevitably' lead to homelessness (4.33)Food banks becoming oversubscribed (5.26)The economics behind the government's measures (6.21)We also hear from Jenni from Hampshire who is unable to work, and said she's struggling to keep up with bills already.

Yesterday, the Chancellor Rishi Sunak unveiled his ‘mini budget' Spring Statement aimed at combatting the cost of living crisis. He had been under pressure to help households, with prices rising 6.2% in the 12 months to February - the fastest for 30 years. The Chancellor announced he would cut fuel duty, raise the threshold at which people start paying National Insurance, and pledged to cut the basic rate of income tax before the next general election. Labour criticised the statement and said Mr Sunak did “not understand the scale of the challenge”.

In the UK, prices are rising faster than wages and the Bank of England says inflation could hit double digits this year. Chancellor Rishi Sunak, who runs the UK Treasury, announced measures today which he says will help ease the pain for consumers. We speak to Roger Bootle, the chairman of the macro-economic research company Capital Economics, to get his assessment of the Chancellor's response to the cost of living crisis. Meanwhile the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, says Moscow will begin insisting that payments for Russian gas - from unfriendly countries, as he put it - are made in roubles. He's given the Russian central bank a week to find a way of switching these payments away from other currencies. Russ Mould is Investment Director at AJ Bell tells us how it could work and what it could mean for prices. And finally a special report from the BBC's Ed Butler investigates the world of ethical investment, to see just how ethical they really are.

Tony Danker joins Christopher Hope in the Red Lion for a lookahead to this week's Spring Statement. The Director General of the CBI warns that taxes or borrowing may have to rise again unless ministers use Brexit to turbocharge growth, and insists he wasn't offended by last year's infamous "Peppa Pig" speech by the PM. Also on the podcast, Ipsos' Kelly Beaver with some exclusive polling for Chopper's Politics on tax, including whether Chancellor Rishi Sunak needs to worry about his popularity. Plus, former Cabinet minister Andrew Mitchell on his objections to offshore processing of asylum seekers, and how he's by far the only Conservative with that view.
