Thanks To Labour. Inflation Has Dropped Again.

[gulliver1]

Uk inflation fell again for the second month in March .Will interest rates be cut now ?.   Looks like Labour have managed to fill that massive black hole they inherited from the crooked Cons then ....good.

ali akbar!

 Filling a hole that doesn't exist requires very little  effort. 

[Old_Geezer]

Hardly the government. Down temporarily due to fuel prices, inflation scheduled for a big rise next time the figures are published.

[gulliver1]

Looks like this excellent good news from Labour is not welcome by everyone ..😂me old china🤣

[Bazile]

Folk on here spend a lot of time criticising each other based on political alleagences .

Whatever side you dress , should we not  be welcoming news which is good for the country ?

 

[gulliver1]

Next step....Get the UK back into the EU ....Job done.  That's Labour in power for the next decade ...😎

[newmodarmy]

Wow. They've filled the black hole already. And that's before the jobs tax ( higher employers NI), disability benefit cuts and v.e.d increases. Maybe these tax increases can be cancelled then.

By the eaythete's no significant connection between public finances and short term drops in inflation due to petrol price falls.

^* by the way, there's no...*

Bllox, Gulliver. Inflation is only down due to the deflation associated with Trump's ridiculous epistles that has had the effect of sending the world's economies into backwardation and, with this, the significant reduction of the price of commodities, hence the cost of energy.....Brent is trading at $66/bbl and N-Gas at 3.27/therm....and then there has been the devaluation of the dollar meaning imports priced in bucks are significantly cheaper.

[ToraToraTora]

I think you mean NO thanks to labour.....

[gulliver1]

DTC @10.25 It's you that is talking a load of Bllox.. me old china .

[DTCwordfan]

Fraid not, Gulliver google any economic journal/organisation and get some basic facts aboard before you spout such hot air that could fill a Montgoflier balloon if there was one chez vous.

[DTCwordfan]

Just to add to the foddeer, the slowing of inflation won't last what with Economy-Raper Reeves increases in her budget. April's figures will see the likes of the min wage and NI kick in. Then there are factors like any cutting interest rates - they usually add to consumer demand and thereby risk raising prices and the rate of inflation further from its 2% target.

Bazile 09.53 For BA...YES  The members of The Opposition Party on AB Should be welcoming news which is good for the Country that has been achieved by the Labour Party  ...But this is AB.

[newmodarmy]

Falling inflation may indeed be good news...if it's not a blip...but it can also be a sign of a recession on its way.

With TTT’s regular response to all this good news from Labour (God is the greatest), I’m beginning to think he now a fully signed up Labour member.

 

I don’t recall him giving such praise to the 14 years of Tory corruption we suffered.

[gulliver1]

HYMIE @ 15.42 Perhaps ...he has been expelled fom the Tory school or Radicalisation.🤣

Given TTT’s now conversion to the Labour cause, here is a video from my mate Phil that TTT will no doubt find interesting, covering the good things the Labour government is doing – but for some reason not reported in our rabid right wing press.

 

As a Private Eye subscriber, I noticed that during the 14 years of corrupt Tory rule, there were loads of articles covering their MPs (and their mates) robbing the public purse of millions of pounds – now Private Eye is reduced to reporting on Labour MPs receiving free tickets to football matches and concerts.

I was okay with the video until Phil makes the claim that many Tory MPs are landlords so they are blocking measures to improve tenants rights. Ignoring the fact that Labour has a huge majority to push things through, does Phil have any evidence about how many Tory MPs are landlords.  And how many Labour MPs are landlords. One can be a landlord and a Labour supporter....ask Gulliver!
