John Redwood: 30-year UK bond yield hits new 6 percent high
UK bonds reach new 6 percent high

John Redwood highlights that 30-year UK government bond yields have reached a new high of 6 percent, surpassing the previous one-day peak from 2022.

He questions why government officials do not acknowledge that the economy has been negatively impacted by higher interest rates maintained for a longer period, referencing ongoing criticism from Labour.

Redwood has previously noted that U.K. government borrowing of £275 billion this year could result in £478 billion in 30-year interest charges, according to his recent post on government debt costs. He has also highlighted a £330 million annual tax loss following the departure of a billionaire from the U.K. in his report on tax changes. These issues reflect ongoing concerns raised in Redwood's analyses of the country's fiscal outlook.
