So, you'll have seen a lot of discussion about the levels of Govt. debt, and how this impact the UK's fiscal manoeuvrability.
Just to put that in a bit of context here's a chart of global public debt (both in absolute $ terms *and* in proportion of GDP, a favoured metric).
The key to this is the % of GDP as a comparator, which as you will see shows the UK as hardly an outlier in global terms, which leads us back to bond market traders' negative sentiment(s).
