Interest rates are set independently by the Bank of England not government, cutting rates whilst inflation is above its 2% target generally indicates other issues such as financial instability or economic growth. Previous occurrences are during Covid & the 2008 Financial crash. https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/monetary-policy/the-interest-rate-bank-rate
