Oddbean new post about login | logout #RishiSunak is in trouble with Sir Robert Chote (chair of the UK Statistics Authority) for claiming last month the 'debt was falling' when what he actually referring to was an OBR forecast that debt *would* likely fall in the future. As Chote said 'the average person in the street [would...] likely have assumed that he was claiming that debt was already falling or that the government’s policy decisions had lowered it at fiscal events — neither of which is the case'! Sunak can't help himself!
