Essentially, this minister is saying, ‘We haven’t been able to fix inflation or the economy. Prices were constantly rising before and after the Iran war. They will continue to rise after the war ends. The price increases have nothing to do with the Iran war. They are related to our economic incompetence, and price increases cannot be prevented regardless of the circumstances.’
We have an incompetent government that doesn’t understand economics and can’t prevent price increases. Chancellor is nowhere to be seen. Inflation is rising again, and they’ve already found the reason for these price increases: the Iran-US war. As if there weren’t price increases in the country before the war…
Polls show the Labour Party at rock bottom. They have the worst approval ratings in 50 years. Starmer and his team have almost no success. There’s been resistance to keeping the UK out of the war, but even that hasn’t been fully successful. The public is fed up. House prices are falling in London, but rents are constantly rising. Food prices are skyrocketing. A product you bought a month ago is now 50% more expensive. Our minister continues to spout nonsense as if the price increases are due to the war.
Where is Chancellor Rachel Reeves?
