The Bank of England meets today and if there isn't a base rate cut there will be some very red faces in the business journalism community at lunchtime. The Guardian is happy to dismiss counter-indications, The Daily Telegraph believes a cut is the most likely decision, The independent agrees there will be one cut but suggests that will be it, while The Times has set up its own committee to recommend a cut (so there).
The results of The Guardian's pay survey are in, and directors at top companies are doing very nicely thanks. Companies in the Eurozone are doing less well, says The Times.
But there's good news in the Daily Telegraph - banking group HBOS says consumer debt isn't reaching crisis point after all. You can't help but consider the possibility that they only think so because they've been doing very well indeed out of it.
