Laura Trott, "Great news.. Inflation coming down, food prices coming down" Ed Balls, "I think you misspoke.. When you said prices are coming down, did you mean prices are going up?" Laura Trott, "Sorry, the rate at which prices are rising are coming down" Susanna Reid, "Food prices are still going up" Ed Balls, "Just explain this to our viewers. You say inflation is coming down, and people say to to us, the price of goods are going up. So just explain to our viewers how those two things can be true" Laura Trott, "Real wages are rising.. More money in your pay check at the end of the month" Ed Balls, "Prices are going up" Laura Trott, "Prices are going up.. The target rate of inflation is 2%" Ed Balls, "So inflation is coming down and prices are going up"
@implausibleblog Can we also mention that the weight of food is also going down, butter down from 250g a packet now 200g while the price continues to rise.
#lauratrott @GMB It’s very simple. #ToryGaslighting blames external factors for high inflation the year the UK leaves the EU, only to then celebrate prices still increasing higher than most European countries and it’s down to them… and this is ALL before trade barriers go up in April. It’s all bollocks, the differences will be even clearer soon. EU is on target to delink from Russian oil price influence by 2025. Here in Portugal, energy prices have fallen consistently each quarter since Q1 2023, and the country is operating at 85%+ renewables/green energy, even with 5 months of rain! Infrastructure investment and long term planning is what sets you free. Obsessing about boats and gender issues are the work of strategists to divert attention, whilst they sell off the country piece by piece.
@implausibleblog Things are getting more expensive, but they're getting more expensive at a slower rate than before.
I wish these hosts would hold them to account that: prices already shot up more than 10% when inflation was high (8% above target rate), then add Brexit damage and that natural price hike & wages can’t keep up with it, without causing further inflation. These people are so fucking deceitful and the worst thing is, they assume we’re as stupid as they hope.
@implausibleblog THEY ARE FLEACING THE PUBLIC and sending all our money to arms companies for WARS….. this is disgusting!
@implausibleblog Laura is a walking, talking liability.
@implausibleblog So in one minute she said: (verbatim) “prices coming down” “prices are rising” “prices are going up”
@implausibleblog @susannareid100 When inflation went up there was nothing the government could do about it as it was external pressures, now the rate of inflation is coming down the government want some credit?
@implausibleblog Just an excuse to get this one out
@implausibleblog @edballs is a bitcoiner 👀
