With the War in Ukraine now passing it’s 50th Day and with no real signs of any Peace Agreement being agreed in the near future ,the prospect of an ongoing conflict in Eastern Europe lasting for Months ,if not Years ,becomes a distinct possibility . At home ,both the UK and Europe are beginning to feel the impact both of this conflict and other Domestic and International pressures , with a ‘Cost Of Living’ crisis now affecting most UK Families . Interest rates seem likely to continue to climb .albeit from a historically low base ,putting further pressure on UK Families …….and whilst Covid is no longer the main concern .it certainly hasn’t gone away . However you look at it , unfortunately,for the immediate future , anxious times now lie ahead of us .
