The Bank of England has voted to keep interest rates unchanged, but showed what was perhaps the clearest sign in years that cuts could come in the months ahead. Bank governor Andrew Bailey said the economy is ânot yet at the pointâ where rates can be lowered, but things are âmoving in the right directionâ. For the first time since September 2021, no-one on the nine-person decision-making body that sets interest rates voted for an increase.

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt announces UK inflation fell to the lowest level in more than two years, to 3.4%.

Royal biographer Hugo Vickers said the King's return to duties is a sign he is "on the way to recovery." Buckingham Palace confirmed today that His Majesty The King will shortly return to public-facing duties after a period of treatment and recuperation following his recent cancer diagnosis. "I think the most difficult thing for him was he was really getting into his stride as head of state and he was doing so much and then suddenly he was confined to base. We'll be very pleased to see him and he'll be delighted to be out and about again," Mr Vickers added. Report by Kennedyl.
