I have just returned from a relaxing and much-needed break which took us to bustling Hungary, Slovakia and Austria.

]]> UK growth pains, our 40th and testimonials https://www.miltonpj.net/2025/09/19/uk-growth-struggles-as-chancellor-does/ Fri, 19 Sep 2025 09:00:00 +0000 https://www.miltonpj.net/?p=12009 Oh dear, so the latest UK economics’ figures for the month suggest there was zero growth (and also August’s government borrowing was higher than expected as well). As I have shared before, chancellors pre-spend their projection of economic growth’s increased tax revenues so when it doesn’t happen… and the flip side is then more people […]

]]> Inflation remains stubborn https://www.miltonpj.net/2025/07/01/inflation-stays-stubbornly-high/ Tue, 01 Jul 2025 14:41:02 +0000 https://www.miltonpj.net/?p=11884 So, inflation remain stubbornly high at 3.4% despite people not feeling especially confident about spending.
