Don’t forget the NI hike, Council Tax increases and increased utilities costs.
If we have a particularly cold winter this year a lot of people are going to be in trouble.

Re: Global Prices Rises On Many Commodities

Hopefully food prices will be a blip but I very much doubt prices will fall at the same rate they will be going up when the various crisis are over.

However, there does appear to be a lack of a coherent plan to move the country forward (not just after brexit) that are causing the non-food increases in the UK.

The recent deal with Norway was a step forward but we should be moving our economy and country to a future that doesn't rely on us importing petrol, diesel and gas and towards producing our own clean electricity; it's crazy we aren't working on tidal energy as it is far more reliable than wind and solar plus it's on all four sides of the UK.

The money being wasted on HS2 could totally revolutionise our energy grid, housing and vehicle charging infrastructure whilst creating jobs throughout the UK not just in a corridor between London and Brum.

Food is a more difficult fix however it is easy to fix the lack of employees here to pick the food we grow and to drive the lorries to move it around the UK. However, any companies that import workers must train up an equivalent number of UK people to eventually take up those roles. Then any quotas can be tapered over time.

Just wondering, was your attitude the same towards the Labour Government in 2008 or was that all their fault?

At least if we have a particularly cold winter electricity bills will drop, on account of there being no electricity..

Wherever you look there's a storm brewing. Across the 'western world'. 20 plus years of bad, lazy government[s], strong on rhetoric but short on sensible and practical ideas, are beginning to have an effect. Nothing seems quite right anymore. Companies that have lost £millions since they started and are never likely to go into profit are worth £billions. Even China is facing a £5 trillion property -related nightmare.
