There was a global pandemic and post pandemic demand coupled with a war between Europes two largest nations has driven inflation across all of Europe. Thinking that giving everyone a 10% payrise will fix it isn't a sensible solution to the problem, unfortunately.
So we’re all in it together?

Nonsense.

Energy companies and privatised utilities have been racking up their profits for shareholders and executives. Fast tracked ‘mates of Boris’ start ups made a killing with corrupt PPE contracts. Arms companies are cashing in on the Ukraine war (and Yemen).

Enough is enough.

Someone must pay for this crisis but just for a change maybe it shouldn’t be those least able?
