I wonder what bad news will be buried tomorrow!!!!
Anyone want to guess? Is it time for the unemployment figures to be announced?

I don't see why an increase in interest rates would be seen as bad news. For me (just a humble saver) an increase in interest rates is the best thing Tony Blair would have done (except that in 1997 Chancellor Brown handed control of interest rate policy to the Bank of England).

No. The date I have is June 1st.
This had better be right. I've got a bet on.

Nothing that man does would surprise me. He is the most cynical politician we've had for years.

Well, you come across some dumb assertions on Y/A. and this certainly ranks high amongst them.
