The Bank of England says Britain could be facing it's longest recession in history.
Britain's GDP fell by two points in October.
The annual inflation rate surged to 10.1% in September, returning to the 40-year high hit in July and five times the central bank’s target.
(QueenStreet comment : for ordinary citizens, the 10% inflation seems much higher with so many products in the shops doubling and trebling, including basics such as bread)
