Are the price rises at all connected to Brexit though?

 

Global energy costs are rising. Our government chose to inflict the rises on consumers, by raising the cap on costs by 54%. France have raised the cap by 4%. Not directly to do with Brexit, but it was the Take Back Control bit that is relevant.

 

A double tax increase on the poor as not just putting up NI, they are freezing the tax allowance for a few years, so any pay increases will be worthless for most.

 

The country is in safe hands with Truss. She seems to know her stuff.

 

I mean, the answer to what sea you'd need to ship stuff through to reach the Baltic states is right there in their name.

 

Watched the opening of the Winter Olympics and thought thank goodness we are not sending any political representation. Imagine Dorries there accompanied by Truss and Johnson. We would be shamed and laughed at on the world stage and we would have been £500,000 worse of due to the cost of their private plane.

 

I really do have a visceral dislike of Dorries.

 

She’s comedy gold, and unlike Boris she’s not on the windup, she’s just thick.

 

I can’t bring myself to watch an Olympics hosted in the country where there is a genocide taking place. I don’t want to support anything to do with China.

I think everyone should have boycotted it personally.

 

And just to add to the sense of tainted global sport, there’s a World Cup this year in Qatar.

 

The majority of French electricity is nuclear generated, is it not ?

 

I watched the Apprentice the other day and one of the teams were designing a computer game set near the North Pole

They called it Artic Saviour and had penguins in it

Future Tory Cabinet methinks

(No offence intended to anyone who’s dyslexic or not a nature numpty)

 

Triple tax as they have created so much money thanks to covid that inflation is rocketing up too

 

How France is helping people through the crisis.
