PM Podcast 23 October

Ok I listened to the PM's podcast:

• We're still in recession on this quarters figures
• Tightening up on lending practices (no unaffordable mortgages, no credit card cheques, no unrequested raises in credit card limits)
• Bank bonus action
• Limit protectionism to help recovery

So (1) is a big disappointment, they thought it would be positive growth by now.
(2) is shutting that stable door firmly after the horse went about 4 years ago, and it could be counter productive to those with huge mortgages who might feel they deserve a softer landing when they come to remortgage.
(3) I'd like to see him try!
(4) No hope in hell.

Not a bad listen, almost sounded grave and Churchillian.
