  1. Can the media and government move onto CPIH please?

    Triple lock has to go. Lock it to earnings growth. Anything else is unsustainable.

  2. And thanks to Mad Liz, the BoE can’t so easily put interest rates up, without it spooking the markets and threatening pension funds.

  3. First comes eye watering inflation. Next comes double figure interest rates to reduce the inflation. Then comes 4 million unemployed as businesses are forced to go bankrupt, shortly followed by unprecedented home repositions.

    We are in for a really shit time. I remember this the first time round under Thatcher, only this time we can’t sell off north sea oil and the nations public industries to balance the losses.

    We live in interesting times, hey

  4. Surely, the saving we have made each week after leaving the EU and our brilliant trade deals across the world will offset the almost weekly blips caused by our own governments fuckery and incompetence?
