For those of you with as sado-monetarists inflationary pressures bingo card, the news that wage rises edged up in the three months to last November, will be another mark on the card contributing to Andrew Bailey's continued 'regret' that they cannot continue for now any programme of cutting interest rates....

and meanwhile, as the UK continues in its economic doldrums, commentators will be doing the work to distract from the obvious key cause... BoE policy!

How we're getting ripped off by hidden

@stux Mitch Hedberg warned us all and we weren't ready to listen.

The Kit-Kat candy bar has the name 'Kit-Kat' imprinted into the chocolate... That robs you of chocolate! That is a clever chocolate saving technique. I go down to the factory "You owe me some letters!"

@stux The suggestion is that we didn't notice "shrinkflation", which wasn't true in our house. We all saw it happen and were cross about it. But what can you do when everyone is doing it? There wasn't a good choice that could be made.

Actually shocking to see the UK government defend it tbh

Sparkurs wirkt: Inflation in Argentinien sinkt deutlich auf 117,8 Prozent

Seit einem Jahr ist Javier Milei Präsident von Argentinien. Im Wahlkampf hatte er einen radikalen Sparkurs angekündigt, um die Hyperinflation zu bremsen. Doch sein Erfolg hat auch negative Auswirkungen.

117,8 % ist natürlich keine Hyperinflation mehr.

Inflation has slowed (a little) to 2.5% last month... however, if you think this will prompt any acceleration in the BoE's professed (but hardly actioned) intent to reduce interest rates, prepare for Andrew Bailey in the media today to be out identifying a range of other 'inflationary pressures' that will still mean rates cannot be dropped just yet....

The sado-mometartists still don't think we have suffered enough!


@ChrisMayLA6 yep. Rachel Reeves should get involved. A few hundred quid off my mortgage payments is worth way more than avoiding a couple of percent rise in income tax. But she won't.

@ChrisMayLA6 I will shamelessly steal sado-monetarists! =)

Yeah, but any time the word inflation is mentioned I chafe..

It’s not nearly the same thing as cost of living. And regular people tend to define inflation as stuff they can’t afford anymore, which is vastly different than the economic professions definition of it. So when people say inflation is too damn high and Economist go oh you’re ignorant it’s like, nah.

In response to this post

HERE IS THE VIDEO I PROMISED.

making a litany of moronic promises in the last week before the election that he is TOO STUPID to realize (or simply doesn't care) he can't possibly keep:

"Deporting 12M 'illegals'" would cost nearly 3/4 of a TRILLION DOLLARS and decimate the .

His will DESTROY importers.

Energy co's will NEVER willingly agree to cut prices (and he'll never force them to.)

ZERO = ZERO GROWTH.

will NEVER pay for . 🤦‍♂️
