#inflation . Thanks @ChrisMayLA6 . Always a tricky one this & open to a variety of interpretations. I think amongst other things looking at comparative rates across the #Eurozone suggests #UKPlc still 'the poor man of Europe' . Low growth / high prices etc. But I would say that wouldn't I? #ForeverEuropean 💖 🇪🇺 ✊⬇️

Inflation rose to 3.5% in April, seemingly vindicating the BoE's mood music on inflationary pressures. Perhaps we should revisit the BoE's target of 2% inflation while also asking how in an engineered slowdown inflation persists? The target is arbitrary & set by the Govt. (it could be changed & BoE could reduce rates) & much of the inflationary pressure stems from abroad, over which those the BoE targets with interest rate rises have no agency to effect. its just sado-monetarism! #inflation

@wood5y Most old timers #StopBrexit #SODEM etc. know these. Brussels / Strasbourg is a complex world and acronyms keep sprouting like fungi in the undergrowth. It's so much easier when you're there and, obviously, would be part of our political lexicon if we were still IN ! dem bar stewards (both sets of cunning stunts) really f**ked over #UKPlc . #followdamoney

And this might be the last chance to keep any heavy manufacturing economy in the UK... aside from the big name companies there will be 100s of smaller suppliers that depend on the car manufacturers... which will win? Economic common sense or political dogma?
