> Because they believe that tax cuts will ultimately stimulate the economy at a time when people are experiencing increased cost of living.

It doesn't make any sense from what I understand because we are raising interest rates to cool down the economy and lowering taxes to heat up the economy. I am not an economist but I think we should be pushing in the same general direction.



Interest rates move the Inflation Tax to the Mortgage Tax. That's the idea.

What the government has done is cut corporate taxes and left it to the Bank of England to raise the Mortgage tax.

Those paying for the government's investment idea will be those paying mortgages and those selling houses.

There's no difference here to cutting corporation tax and putting up income tax to compensate.
