Earlier, i spoke to janet mui, whos the head of Market Analysis at rbc brewin dolphin, and she explained where the deflation was coming from. Deflation data, basically mostly coming from food prices and also commodities prices like raw materials, energy, etc. Actually, if you look at the underlying inflation, things like services, things like tourism, leisure, hotels, actually they are up. The Core Inflation is up from 0. 4 to 0. 8 , but obviously its still pretty muted. So overall, i think it is a concern that china prices are contracti ....
Taxes. The obr is likely to lower the estimate of how much room he has, and that is probably an over estimate anyway. So he has very little space. He could opt for different things.

Turning the tap. We are beginning to see the impact of that now weve seen in the Housing Market, weve se ....
This acutely. They understand the catastrophe at the border is affecting everyone, and it is top of mind for all the American People for that reason. Again, the First Priority of the country is our border and making sure its secure.
