    Interest rate decision divides Bank of England - what does it tell us about the economy?
    Aug 8 2025
    The Bank of England has cut interest rates again, but this time, the decision wasn’t straightforward.

    Georgie Frost, Lee Boyce and Helen Crane ask what the division in the Monetary Policy Committee tells us about the state of the economy right now, and what the cut means for our money.

    We also talk about plans to hit those in wealthier areas with bigger council tax bills. Why is the current system so unequal, and how could your area be affected?

    Helen discusses a water company who told an elderly couple they needed their pipework replacing at a cost of thousands - when in reality, all they needed was a new water meter (which is given away for free).

    Finally, Lee explains who can claim from the car finance scandal - and what to do if you can't find the paperwork.

    Lee Boyce, Simon Lambert and Georgie Frost discuss what the total sum is - and that our tax rate is more like 57 per cent.

    And tax rises don't always bring in more cash for the Treasury coffers.

    As the Government weighs up introducing yet another tax - this time a wealth tax - we explore why despite the allowance being slashed the capital gains tax take is down and what it means for the Chancellor's plans.
