This is Money: It's Crystall Ball time!

Georgie Frost
This is Money: It's Crystall Ball time!
Once again, it's time for the This is Money podcast. Every week, in partnership with NS&I, Financial Broadcaster of the Year Georgie Frost and Financial Website of the Year This is Money team up to go through all the finance stories you need to know this week. On the agenda today, of course, The Bank of England cut interest rates as many of us predicted. We're not going to pat ourselves on the back too much for that one, but some prognosticating is definitely in order. How will this affect us in the long run? Cuts to existing savings rates have left savers nervous, and things are not looking good on the property market, as homeowner levels have dropped to their lowest in 30 years. Is this the worst time for a rate cut? We'll also be running through the new deadline for PPI claims, and Simon's round-up of the best and worst of Great British Autos. This is Money is presented by George Frost, in partnership with NS&I.

This is Money: From Brexaustion to Brexcuses.

This is Money: From Brexaustion to Brexcuses.
Time again for This is Money, Financial Broadcaster of the Year Georgie Frost and Financial Website of the Year This is Money team up with NS&I to close off a turbulent week, with the best of financial advice and analysis. Yes, it has been a turbulent week, with Natwest veering towards negative rates, Santander rolling back the UK's most popular current account, and Lloyds scrapping more of their workforce. Can savers find their way through it all? Well, we'd better hope so, as the issue this week most pressing is the FCA's findings that over 5 million credit cards may never be paid off, and around 1.4 million people are barely making any repayments at all. In short, we're drowning in plastic. But the first step is educating ourselves, and this podcast is the place to start! This is Money is presented by Georgie Frost, in partnership with NS&I.

The votes are in, and Britain is to leave the European Union. Don't Panic, though, because if you want to understand what this means for you and your finances, this is the only podcast for you. What is a technical recession? Will this mean less migration to the UK? How much will French strawberries cost next week? The answers start here. The team from Financial Website of the Year This Is Money, Editor Simon Lambert and Consumer Affairs Editor Lee Boyce have been preparing for months the definitive guide to a pre- and post-Brexit economy, and along with Financial Broadcaster of the Year Georgie Frost, they're on the case unpacking the fallout of this, the most historic day in the UK for decades.
