The evidence suggests not. https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2023/05/31/do-financial-markets-really-think-interest-rates-are-going-to-rise-by-much-the-evidence-suggests-not/ Interest rates in financial markets are falling from last week’s highs.

The longer those on the right of the Tories make clear what they really think, the more people are going to appreciate just how much these Tories dislike them. And people don't vote for people who dislike them. https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2023/05/21/you-do-not-have-to-hate-this-country-to-be-a-tory-now-but-it-most-certainly-helps/

It’s time the king gave up his royal exemptions from UK law https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2023/05/10/its-time-the-king-gave-up-his-royal-exemptions-from-uk-law/. Clive Lewis MP has been doing good work on the 160 or so royal exemptions from UK law, from tax onwards, and has a petition out asking the king to give these up. Might you support his cause?
