If the UK drops into #recession in the next 6-9 months, it will have been engineered by the BoE via #interestrates rises;. the Q. then is it in whose interest is an engineered recession?

One might conclude that the #Tories want a term out of office to firmly attach the blame for the UK's economic worsening malaise on Labour;

given #voters seldom vote for the present Govt. when economies are in trouble, a recession will give the Tories the rest in opposition they now seem to want/need?

@ChrisMayLA6 I’m not sure the Tories are capable of thinking that strategically.

@judisutherland

when it comes to their self-preservation, I'm not so sure....
