Inflation is up, due to Iran illegal war, and the consequent fuel rises, but could fall if Trump is properly swaddled with chains and gagged. The British public do not know what a shit shower the last few Tory governments have been, and to some extent Starmers short soiree. So Burnham needs to take action now, tax the oil companies and reform the energy market is an immediate necessity. The American election basically showed that esoteric or even racist views on migration and moralistic views on society, and even fundalmentalycorrect views on environmental issue were always second to the economy. I understand that, but people still vote because of the hatred implanted by facists and the RW Media and their diversion of the blame from mega rich wankers, to the poor and unrepresented.
How many thick bastards think that the unemployed, disabled, or immigrants are to blame for there situation? Rather than the incredulous distribution of wealth that disfigures humanity. It is not inflation and rising prices that is the problem, but the low wages of most of the population.
