Lions ratings 09:35am on 21 Jun 2009 AWJ was pushing Jenkins, not Vickery. And he is a very heavy forward anyway.

Do BBC journalists not have to know about the topic they write about?
Pay cuts versus job losses 10:53am on 11 Dec 2008 Perhaps the BoE committee needs some members who have mortgages, little savings and rely on their regular monthly income to make ends meet? For example, most of the population?
Why punish savers? 09:38am on 04 Dec 2008 My sympathy goes to those who fixed their mortgages around 6-7% when the BoE was telling the whole world rates would rise to combat inflation.

Professional bankers who were unable, Blanchflower aside, to predict a thumping great recession.

Shocking.
Repossessions 'to rise to 75,000' 4:34pm on 03 Dec 2008 This will get far, far worse than the 90's.

The number of people on interest-only mortgages with high LTV's is huge - interest only was rare in the 90's. As the equity disappears, they will hand back the keys, take bankruptcy and re-enter the market, debt free, in a couple of years. Tag on 100%+ mortgages, plus those unable to pay because of job loses (the worst of this will await 2009/10). Then add in the BTL brigade of amateur landlords, who will see rents head south because of over-supply and be unable to pay the mortgage, the ex-council house buyers and the figure will be well over 100,000.
B&B collapse to cost City £9bn 11:31am on 29 Sep 2008 Am I alone in suspecting that sometimes Peston, Gordon Brown's biographer, is simply an extension of the PM's PR machine?
