Low interest rates must sustain the economic recovery, allowing businesses to invest and to create jobs and allowing home owners to refinance mortgages at affordable costs. Anyone whose interest in the economy is focused on a horizon that stretches further than the next five months can see the huge risks that the Government are taking with Britain's future.
