It’s all eyes on the Queen as the nation celebrates Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee, now known on the rocket as ‘Platty Joobs.’
Our podcast co-hosts are struck by the parallels between this landmark event and another, the Silver Jubilee in 1977, which also fell during a period of political and economic uncertainty.
Liam Halligan thinks while the mood is celebratory at the moment, all bets are off once the Jubilee has finished, as political scandals and the cost of living crisis return to the headlines.
He urges Rishi Sunak to do more to relieve vulnerable households, but warns cash splashes aren’t the answer and could lead to the collapse of the pound and higher interest in the long run.
Allison Pearson agrees that the Prime Minister and Chancellor’s recent spending pledges have seemed more ‘Winnie the Pooh’ than Conservative. She thinks the real threat for the Tories is going to come from within their own party.
Also hopping aboard the rocket this week to help cut through any confusion surrounding the economic crisis, is leading economist and Telegraph columnist, Roger Bootle, who tells our co-pilots he is flabbergasted at how the Bank of England dropped the ball on rising inflation and discuss the dangers of groupthink in our financial institutions.
And, our co-hosts have some advice for any Planet Normal residents planning their own Jubilee celebrations.
