Favour over the past month. Weve seen sterling rise that will help temper the Price Pressures from imports. Weve also seen other pressures in the markets where theyve been raising some questions about the Bank Of Englands credibility, as in Mortgage Rates going up without decisions being made that has all calmed down, too. And the public s expectations of where inflation is going, which were really very high, have now begun to temper. So thats also going in the banks favour. But a crucial issue is that they have raised rates by 5 the impact of that has really taken some time to filter through into the economy, there is sort of turning the type of rate rises on. Turning the tap. We are beginning to see the impact of that now weve seen in the Housing Market, weve seen it in some corporate insolvencies too. So that all leads back to this Balancing Act between crushing inflation, but avoiding a downturn its a tight rope and we are probably approaching the most narrow, trickiest part of tha
But also that he can beat the rap. Most people believe hes a martyr, you know, just being persecuted, and i think hell get more votes. I pledge allegiance keeping a vigil outside a washington prison that houses some of the january 6th rioters, they think this largely democratic city will be hostile territory for a trump trial. Do you think that if a dcjury finds donald trump guilty, am i going to think that that was legitimate . Laughter no i, donald john trump, do solemnly swear. President trump swore to defend the constitution of the United States. But now hes accused of spreading lies and deceit, in a desperate attempt to stay in power, despite knowing he had lost the 2020 election. The police are now running back. The violent attack on january 6th was, say prosecutors, the result of his prolific lies, as he deliberately created nationwide mistrust and anger. The attack on our nations capitol on January 6th 2021 was an unprecedented assault on the seat of american democracy. As desc
Does it feel that way to you . Yes, stephen. Its been like that for a while, ever since i was out of power 1a months, 15 months ago. What was hoped by the establishment which removed me, what they hoped was that the party would just fizzle away. And normally it happens when youre out of power, youre out of power for quite a while. But instead, what happened . The most unusual thing in this country that the partys popularity kept growing, and that in the by elections that took place, out of 37 by elections, my party swept 30 of them. And this is despite the establishment backing the government parties. So since then, attempts are being made to knock me out of the game. I had two Assassination Attempts on me. And apart from that, now i have close to my double century almost 200 cases. And the whole attempt is to either imprison me or disqualify me or both. Yeah, you talk about being knocked out of the game. Isnt the reality, now that there are these pretty much 200 cases against you, whi

Ijust used that phrase, some would call it a cliche, about the culture wars. Does it feel to you that today there is a somewhat toxic culture war . I think youve framed it beautifully. It is toxic, but most importantly, its disingenuous. In my humble opinion. Its used to kind of create political fear. And ourjob as artists is, i think, fundamentally to take away that fear, to take away the binaries that i think this farce of the culture wars are. You know, i often hear politicians and im not one to diss politicians, but i also often hear politicians use race or class or immigration or use history as a Battering Ram to get themselves into the hearts of the populist. But those issues youve just outlined race, immigration they are central to your work, because theyre central to your own life story. Yeah, totally and utterly. But. And have you been frightened off entering this territory at times . Again, i think its framed brilliantly. Fortunately for me, or unfortunately, when im afraid o
