and street crimes are up. atlanta, homicide, there is no change, but robberies down. milwaukee, homicides up, robbery down. new york, homicides down 14.3%, robberies up 13.3%. my point is, that this is the evergreen bogeyman because everyone can relate to not want to be the victim of a crime, but the stats tell a bit of a different story. ron, in the story, you compare a study that has a so-called progressive prosecutor, versus one that does not. it s not actually what is happening. what causes crime to rise and fall is so complex and multifaceted and the idea that decisions of a prosecutor i mean, this is not me. these are the criminologists who did this report. with a found was that the decisions of prosecutors, who are pursuing the kind of policies that are under attack in wisconsin and pennsylvania and elsewhere, they simply do not have a significant impact on the crime.

will naturally bring inflation down. but there s this other story going the other way, particularly businesses and we. my key point is if inflation becomes embedded and persistent, it gets worse. business secretary, kwasi kwarteng, has also been speaking this morning about the economy. if your target interest rate as a central bank, your target inflation, is 2% and you re predicting 13.3%, something s gone wrong. now i m not someone who is going to necessarily blame the bank. i think this will be a matter of debate. i mean, he s raised interest rates by 0.5%, which is the highest increase since1995, 27 years, which suggests that he probably feels that he could have raised them sooner because it was a very big hike, actually, yesterday. but i think we need to look at what went wrong. clearly if you ve got a 2% target and you re predicting 13.3%, something s gone wrong.
