I mean, I can take some level of bias in articles even by the BBC but...
£180bn x 5 = £0.9tn (not £1.14tn)Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.Comment

So if an increase of £240bn is equal to £1.2Tn then the starting figure is £960bn - the IFS says the increase will only be $180bn which leads to the target figure of £1.14Tn - what are you failing to understand?
It gets worse. Or better, for entertainment purposes.
