This is the latest in my series of podcasts explaining how economics works in the credit crunch and now virus pandemic era. This week I give my thoughts on how much of UK GDP growth is government driven? To what extent do gilt yields play a role in £ exchange rate, if any?

At what level of yield on long gilts do we have a crisis? How unusual is the disconnect between Bank of England base rate policy and market yields, relative to the UK history and other countries? Do UK Chancellors ever have good days?
