still with us to discuss is colin robertson, andrew chorlton, and marilyn watson.i want to begin with you. drawing on your experience with the bank of england from years gone by, what are we expecting from the boe next week? why is the idea of a rate hike even up for discussion? marilyn: certainly the last monetary policy decision was not unanimous. it was a 5-3 decision. obviously inflation is running above the 2% target. that being said, i think recently inflation if anything has surprised to the downside. there's a lot of uncertainty obviously around the state of the economy going forward and economic growth in relation to brexit. so, we don't think that the bank of england is going to act anytime soon. in fact, if anything, we are actually long yields. but there has been a huge amount of disagreement and concern around the inflation profile, but so far we are actually seeing that it's not too concerning for the bank of england. jonathan: andrew, i thought this was really straightforward. take a leap from the mervyn king playbook. you except inflation spikes in
