Last week the Bank of England (BoE) raised interest rates to 1.25% and warned inflation will exceed 11% this coming autumn... The UK's central bank lifted its benchmark rate to 1.25%, from 1%, the fifth rise in as many meetings. Three policymakers wanted a bigger rise to 1.5% but were outvoted by the other six. Interestingly, it was all three of the external members of the board that voted for the higher rise... Other central banks around the world are taking more forceful measures to combat soaring inflation and are introducing steeper interest rate hikes. The BoE has been accused of being too timid after only raising interest rates by a quarter of a point, despite the UK's intensifying cost of living crisis and forecasted higher inflation. Roger Bootle wrote in the Telegraph that the BoE's credibility is now severely compromised and that assessing the economy is like shooting at a constantly moving target... and the Bank keeps missing. The Bank of England had also previously estimated that consumer price inflation would hit 10%– far over its 2% target. This new forecast of 11% shows that households face even more pain, with real wages already lagging inflation.

It's all eyes on the Queen as the nation celebrates Her Majesty's Platinum Jubilee, now known on the rocket as 'Platty Joobs.' Our co-pilots are struck by the parallels between this landmark event and another, the Silver Jubilee in 1977, which also fell during a period of political and economic uncertainty. Liam thinks while the mood is celebratory at the moment, all bets are off once the Jubilee has finished, as political scandals and the cost of living crisis return to the headlines.He urges Rishi Sunak to do more to relieve vulnerable households, but warns cash splashes aren't the answer and could lead to the collapse of the pound and higher interest in the long run. Allison agrees that the Prime Minister and Chancellor's recent spending pledges have seemed more 'Winnie the Pooh' than Conservative. She thinks the real threat for the Tories is going to come from within their own party. Also hopping aboard the rocket this week to help cut through any confusion surrounding the economic crisis, is leading economist and Telegraph columnist, Roger Bootle, who tells our co-pilots he is flabbergasted at how the Bank of England dropped the ball on rising inflation and discuss the dangers of groupthink in our financial institutions.And, our co-pilots have some advice for any Planet Normal residents planning their own jubilee celebrations.Read more from Allison: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/authors/a/ak-ao/allison-pearson/ |Read more from Liam: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/authors/liam-halligan/ |Read more from Roger: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/authors/r/rk-ro/roger-bootle/ | Listen to Chopper's Politics: Listen to Chopper's Politics: https://www.playpodca.st/chopper |Need help subscribing or reviewing?

We get global reaction as the UK votes to leave the European Union. In Finland, the Foreign Minister, Timo Soini - who heads the eurosceptic Finns Party - said the UK result had to be respected - and he warned against what he called retaliation in future negotiations between the EU and Britain. We hear from Alexander Stubb , who was until recently, the Finance Minister of Finland. In recent weeks, we've heard the views of Roger Bootle of Capital Economics - arguing in favour of a British exit from the EU. We put to him that he must be very pleased today. Some of the world's largest companies warned they could relocate their British-based operations following the EU referendum result. But how do smaller businesses in the UK see their bottom line being affected? Lucy Hooker has been along to talk to the owner of the Brompton bike company here in the UK, a big exporter. We are joined throughout the programme by three guests. From Washington, Philippe Le Corre, a visiting fellow at the Centre on the United States and Europe at the Brookings Institution.

So we now know, barring major incidents, that Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump are the choices for US President in November. But what are they offering American business? That's a concern of course for the US Chamber of Commerce. We hear from J.D Harrison, a senior editor at the US Chamber of Commerce based in Washington. The creative money-spinner that is Harry Potter moved on to its latest incarnation in London this week with the start of a series of previews of "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child". It's been described as the eighth Potter story - although it's the first to originate as a piece of theatre. But does it have the magic of its printed predecessors? Our arts correspondent Vincent Dowd was among those blessed with a ticket and gives us his view. It seems the UK isn't the only country in Europe where enthusiasm for the European Union is less than whole-hearted. Britain may be the country which is about to have a referendum on membership - but new research by the US-based Pew Research centre suggests more than sixty percent of French people have an unfavourable view of the EU. Poland is the country with the largest proportion of EU fans. In Germany favourable is ahead by a fraction: 50% to 48%. So what does this tell us? Roger Bootle, the Chairman of Capital Economics, who's campaigning for Britain to leave the European Union - and Professor Sebastian Dullien, at the University of Applied Science in Berlin discuss. You know how it is - you're sitting in a café and you notice the person who just departed left their newspaper behind. You casually pick it up and start reading. In Morocco, you would be committing a crime. The authorities have banned people from reading in public newspapers bought by other people. Many Moroccans have taken to social media to ridicule the ban. One suggested special uniformed Newspaper Police might arrest 'illegal' readers, seize their offending newspapers and burn them publicly in the square. We hear from the BBC's Sidy Yansane in Casablanca. Throughout the programme we are joined by two guests on opposite sides of the Pacific.

At our event on 21 April, 86% of the audience, the majority of whom were economists, agreed that leaving the EU would damage Britain's economy during a CER debate.

The event was introduced with a keynote speech by former prime minister Gordon Brown.

The BBC has exclusive evidence of the large-scale destruction of a reef in the South China Sea by Chinese poachers and the theft of valuable and endangered giant clams.

All public schools in the Los Angeles area were closed on Tuesday after a ‘credible threat’ was received via email. Almost 700,000 students were affected. A similar threat was received by police in New York, but was not deemed credible - schools remained open. We hear from families caught up in the California alert. Also in the programme, the US central bank the Federal Reserve is expected to raise interest rates tomorrow, for the first time in almost a decade. Our economic commentator Roger Bootle offers his assessment. We discuss big data, as the EU announces new laws requiring companies to ask permission to keep clients data. Customers are also given the right to demand their details are removed from a company's database. However, a breach of the rules could see firms fined around 4% of global revenues. And the artists from a Grammy shortlisted album who definitely won’t be attending the awards ceremony – because they’re all behind bars. We speak to the producer of the Zomba Prison Project in Malawi.
