“My bet is on muddling through, but muddling through in an increasingly unsatisfactory way.” The UK’s debt has been increasing more than that of other countries for over a decade, and an “inability to make decisive moves in one direction or another” will lead to us “muddling through”, says former deputy governor of the Bank of England Sir Howard Davies. Sir Howard Davies was speaking to Kate McCann and Stig Abell on Times Radio. Listen live every Monday-Thursday from 6-10am.
