Pension funds 'would have collapsed TODAY' if Bank of England didn't hit panic button: Bank announced £60billion government debt buy-up amid fears institutions were within HOURS of being crushed by soaring interest rates and plummeting Pound The Bank of England was forced to step in with a £60billion buy-up of government debt to stop a mass collapse of pension funds, it was claimed today. In a shock and highly unusual move, Threadneedle Street declared this morning that it would purchase gilts in response to the 'significant repricing of UK and global financial assets' since Kwasi Kwarteng's tax-cutting Budget. It has emerged that the extraordinary intervention was triggered by fears that otherwise major players would have been crushed within hours - putting the whole system at risk. They were under huge pressure from huge moves in gilts - bonds issued to finance government borrowing - combined with plunging in the Pound. And officials believed they were witnessing a 'dynamic run' similar to that seen when Northern Rock failed at the start of the credit crunch, according to Sky News. Some were said to have been urgently raising capital to cover their liabilities. The Bank's action is designed to add more demand for gilts and and pump up their prices - which in turn brings down the interest rates.

'We need places like this with the cost of living crisis': Princess Kate addresses rocketing living costs on visit to food bank in Wales which she says is a 'lifeline for so many families' The royal's sombre comments came during a discussion with volunteers and members of the congregation at St Thomas Church in Swansea about the importance of community services. Over the last two years the church has been transformed into a community hub, which includes a food bank, facilities for homeless people, and a not-for-profit café and community training kitchen. The site is also home to the Swansea Baby Basics baby bank, a volunteer-led project that distributes essentials to vulnerable mothers and their newborn babies across the city. During the visit with husband William (left), Kate (right) said: 'With the cost of living crisis, there are a lot of desperate people out there.' She added that the food bank was a 'lifeline to so many people' particularly after the pandemic and amid the soaring cost of living. 'There is amazing work going on here. Keep up the hard work,' she added.

Success of experimental Alzheimer’s drug hailed as ‘historic moment’ Study shows cognition in early-stage patients on lecanemab declines by 27% less than those on placebo theguardian.com Rob Howard, a professor of old age psychiatry at University College London (UCL), said: “This is an unambiguously statistically positive result and represents something of an historic moment when we see the first convincing modification of Alzheimer’s disease. God knows, we’ve waited long enough for this.” Eisai and Biogen are expected to apply for regulatory approval in the US and Europe by the end of the year. If approved, healthcare providers will have difficult decisions about whether to fund the drug, which requires infusions every two weeks, and who will be eligible for it because the clinical improvements seen by patients fall just below a widely accepted benchmark. * * *

Druckenmiller: "We Are In Deep Trouble... I Don't Rule Out Something Really Bad" I will be stunned if we don’t have recession in ’23. I don’t know the timing but certainly by the end of ’23. I will not be surprised if it’s not larger than the so called average garden variety.”
