To those lazy journalists who are claiming that the slight reduction in headline inflation will help ‘ease’ the cost of living crisis, a maths lesson. When inflation falls, prices do not fall; they continue to rise at a lower rate.

Stop trying to sugar coat the figures. Without decent wage settlements, public sector workers are going to be worse off. Inflation hasn’t gone into reverse. The price rises already seen will not go away.

Watching the collapse of #twitter in real time is incredible. 2022 is now officially the year crypto, #twitter, and #UKEconomy died.

"Income inequality in US & UK is so wide that while the richest are very well off, the poorest have a worse standard of living than the poorest in countries like Slovenia

Essentially, US & UK are poor societies with some very rich people."

Turns out cutting yourself off from Trillions of £'s on your doorstep isn't great for the #Economy.

Oh and of course this has nothing to do with #Brexit.
