I do apologise as I didn't see this in time.

However, it is great that he is doing this, and just in case it is possible to raise this, I would like to ask about the IMF forecast (which another poster has touched upon, thankfully).

www.ft.com/content/4ac7e454-5a0c-4094-90af-fb54404d45a0

According to the FT, " The UK will be the worst-performing G7 economy next year with the cost of living crisis and tax increases projected to slow economic activity to a crawl, according to a new IMF forecast."...

" Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas, IMF chief economist, said: “What we are seeing is that the UK is facing elevated inflation, and tight monetary policy is weighing down on economic activity this year and next.”

I would really like to know from this webchat why we are not putting in place more measures similar to other G7 countries to support citizens, if that is the reason for our projected poor performance.
