When do you think the first cut in the BoE interest rate will come?

I'd put the rate increase at around 3 months after Labour/ Coalition win the GE.

And staying on the theme of the election, the rates will be cut one or two meetings before that election.
Of course, the BoE is independent and non-political so this will be pure coincidence.

Will there be two meetings before the election?

Have you read beyond the headline? Higher rates are always possible but Dimon seems to only be trying to reassure the market that the bank would withstand rates at that level. He is not predicting that outcome.
