The Bank of England has finally cut rates to 3.75%, but the razor-thin 5-4 vote signals that the battle against inflation is far from over. In this episode, we break down the latest "Propenomics" analysis of the UK economic landscape as we head into 2026.

From the "Suicide by Unemployment" risk to the growing divide between public and private sector pay, we analyse why the BoE is behind the curve—and what that means for your portfolio. We also discuss the new realities of "Trumpomics," the "Output Trap," and why yield-chasing in London is becoming a dangerous game.

Key Topics Discussed:

• The BoE Rate Cut: Analyzing the split decision to cut to 3.75% and why the "Hawks" and "Doves" are divided.

• The Unemployment Trap: Unemployment breaks the 5% barrier (5.1%) while youth unemployment hits a staggering 16%.

• Trump 2.0 Trade Deals: How the UK is navigating "preferred partner" status and what 10% tariffs mean for manufacturing.

• Property Market Stats: Week 49 data shows sales are up, but fall-throughs remain sticky at 25.8%.

• Rental Market Warning: Why rental stock outside London is surging, and why investors must target 7-9% gross yields (North/Midlands) to survive high mortgage costs.

• The Private vs. Public Gap: Public sector pay is up 7.6%, while the private sector has shed nearly a quarter of a million jobs.

Strategic Takeaway: The era of passive capital growth is paused. For 2026, the game is about active management and cash flow. We discuss why tenant retention is now your primary risk mitigation strategy and why mortgage rates for limited companies will likely settle in the mid-5% range.

And I very much recommend you read it. However, it is an 81-page PDF so I wanted to share this and see if people found it useful. A deep-dive style summary, AI produced, limited work from the "chef" here - and hopefully it will spark some interesting debate and conversation. Please let me know what you think!

This week - the macro includes Liz the Lettuce alongside some less bearish figures for the markets than the weak summer.

I also go back to a piece of primary research I did in July this year regarding real house prices, multiples and earnings - and rents. The conclusions are very surprising!

This week Dr Michael Burry gets a shoutout, as I look at why he placed such a big bet on the markets falling earlier this year.

I ask what we are missing when it comes to the pieces of the jigsaw in the UK housing market and what we can learn from the past as I continue to speculate on what's likely to happen in the near future.

This week covers the upcoming Bank of England meeting and takes apart not two but three important recent reports, as well as the macro roundup.

What's coming? I finish with some real-time conclusions about where we are in the cycle right now.

Keep Calm......

This week's supplement goes right into the details around the Bank of England's most recent Monetary Policy Report and the decision that the Bank faces - and shares some fascinating stats about the true makeup of the UK buy to let market.

This week I dive into the macro markers for a stalling UK economy - get stuck in to the problems facing us at the top level - attempt some forecasts for the remaining months of the year and and top of all of that - discuss the energy performance certificate and the theoretical changes coming our way as a sector.

This week looks at the inflation roundup and the ever evolving scenario, and gets into some practical advice as to what to do in these times.

1. UK Retail sales up 4.2 per cent in nominal terms, down nearly 5 per cent after inflation adjustments

2. UK unemployment up to 4 per cent, a surprise jump from 3.8 per cent compared to forecasts - good for rates

3. Average earnings up 7.3 per cent annualised using the last 3 months as the base - bad for rates as seen to be driving inflation

4. RICS house price balance -46 per cent (so of those surveyed, 73 per cent reported a downwards market in pricing terms, 27 per cent reported sideways or upwards) - back to the negatives of January and February, but at what's normally a good time of year to sell - this will filter through to Q3/Q4s figures. Tough time to be a sales agent

5. GDP down 0.4 per cent for the year - avoided the technical recession (remember, two quarters in a row of negative growth) - but the effect is similar - teetering on the brink of abject sideways movement - weak as water

6. In the Bank of England's own words this week: "The global economic outlook is highly uncertain, and the risk environment is challenging". Pope also catholic in shocking revelation……

7. Homeowner mortgage payments aren't looking as if they will increase as much as you would be led to believe if you trusted the mainstream media for your economics news

8. UK banks still look solid and very resilient

9. UK companies don't have as much debt maturing in the next 12-18 months as in previous cycles - they are stronger in cash terms, just as households are

10. Nonbank financial institutions are not as strong or resilient and it is an international task of some magnitude to fix this problem (nonbank FIs would include insurance firms, venture capitalists, currency exchanges, some microloan organisations, and pawn shops)
