The Bank of England's grim forecast suggests that the UK's economy may experience a period of no growth until after the upcoming election, dealing a significant blow to Chancellor Rishi Sunak, who had promised to boost the economy, among other pledges. Despite this, there's a silver lining as the Bank predicts a decrease in inflation in the coming year. On the political front, opposition figure Jeremy Hunt pointed out that the UK's economic resilience and rising wages indicate positive signs, emphasizing sustainable growth as the key to prosperity. Rishi Sunak, on the other hand, is gearing up to unveil the Autumn Statement, outlining plans to enhance economic growth through private investment, increased employment, and a more efficient government.
The government's Rwanda deportation plan, spearheaded by Rishi Sunak, is encountering challenges in the House of Lords. Peers are making moves to impede the progress of the controversial bill, with former Labour attorney general Peter Goldsmith leading a motion seeking to delay the ratification of the new Rwanda treaty. The international agreements committee, chaired by Lord Goldsmith, insists on specific measures, including an improved complaints process and guarantees of safety, before endorsing the treaty. A separate challenge by the Liberal Democrats involves presenting a "fatal motion," claiming the plan violates international law and wastes taxpayer money. The outcome could significantly impact the future of the Rwanda plan and its implementation.
