When crises collide:

#NHScrisis (and #LongCovid) contribute the largest proportion of 'economically inactive' #workers....

driving labour shortages in a time of #inflation & #costoflivingcrises,...

while #greedfaltion (yes its a thing), drives both #inflation & decline in real wages...

causing some pressure (as a lagging factor) on wages to rise.

So what is the #BoE going to do; yes raise #interest rates to drive a #recession to compound the economic damage.

It looks like #classwar & is!

More cost(s) of #Brexit:

seems the spike in #energy prices is not only due to #greedfaltion compounded by the #UkraineWar, but also reflects shifts in how energy is traded across the channel.

Energy UK notes: a 'mismatch of different trading arrangements has led to a less efficient, more complex & costly model for the trade of electricity over the interconnectors between the EU and GB, as well as adding to the regulatory & administrative burdens of energy traders'!

One more Brexit benefit!
