  2. Hi, I’d be grateful for your thoughts on the famous/infamous Howe Budget of 1981 when 364 economists wrote a letter of protest to the Times.

  3. Hi,
    I have up-to £300 a month at my disposal and I was considering overpaying my mortgage with this amount however I spoke to someone the other day who mentioned it might not be the best option due to inflation eroding my mortgage and that investing my money into a high interest savings account could be better?..I’m a little confused as to how that could beat overpaying my mortgage ? Can you help me with this?
    Thanks you for your time.
