This BBC news video is excellent at looking at some of the causes of the economic slowdown in the UK economy and features a brief cameo appearance by my old director of studies at university - Martin Weale from the National Institute. In a related article, the International Monetary Fund reports that the worst of the credit crunch is not yet over.
