CPI is a flawed metric. Better off looking at M2 & M4 supply to see how you’re being debased.

If Starmer does go, his replacement will walk into a bit of a shit show: ‘The UK government borrowed £23.3 billion last month, 30 per cent or £5.4 billion higher than a year earlier. It was also more than the £18.8 billion expected by most economists and the £17.7 billion forecast by the Office for Budget Responsibility, the UK’s independent fiscal watchdog. The interest payable on government debt rose to £11.7 billion, the highest ever recorded in any May.’

Qatar are in big fuckin trouble here

Let Cyle take it

Bloody hell, Sulemana starting for Ghana

Fantastic stuff. Look a proper team for a change. Players actually looked like they do at club level. Defence a bit shaky but hopefully they can grow together.

Not anymore 👀

It’s linked up above, go and read it.

These figures are highly manipulated. They don’t include fuel costs, council tax, rent, mortgages, etc Also, the ONS uses a geometric mean to calculate price changes for many items. This method automatically assumes that when the price of something spikes, consumers are smart and immediately switch to a cheaper alternative. For example, if beef spikes by 9.4% (as it did in the latest data) and you switch to a cheaper protein, the formula registers a lower inflation impact. While this makes sense for economic modeling, it means the index measures the cost of surviving, not the cost of maintaining the exact lifestyle you had a year ago. For the every day person, inflation is still ridiculous. (not blaming Labour for this though. Just pointing out that both Labour and the Tories are facetious when they try to use inflation data as a victory.)

The report states that both Starmer knew what was happening and covered it up/minimised the seriousness of it. Not really sure you have a leg to stand on here

The police told the mother of one of the victims when she reported it that “she should be grateful for experiencing other cultures”

So you’re just going to ignore the independent report and the accounts of the victims? nice.
