Inflation all the way down to 10.1%. Go Rishi!

[steviewevie]

food inflation at 19.2%. oof.

Strange definition of "fall significantly" from the BOE. If they wont do what's required Rishi should replace them, this is getting silly.

Its worked in the states who were raising earlier and more aggressively whilst we were talking about inflation being "transitory"

There is also the small matter than our central bank monetized more debt during covid so we probably should of been more hawkish than the fed.

A lot of problems they'll need to offer solutions for but there aren't solutions for many so it's going to be a hard sell.
