The inflation we are currently experiencing is as a result of a number of factors, but NONE as a result of wage spiral ad the government seems to be trying to suggest.

We have inflation as a result of

Oil price increase

Supply chain difficulties

The world opening up from covid and demand is exceeding demand

Food shortages due to war in Ukraine

This wretched government has done nothing to plan for or mitigate the effects of the inflation, except to try and blame ordinary people.

Journalists, including seem to be questioning reinstatement of the pension triple lock. The potential 10% increase to pensions in April 2023 is being compared to the call for public sector workers to exercise pay restraint to curb inflation. In fairness the government are, for the moment, sticking to their pledge but is this an attempt to pit workers against pensioners and an argument for a government u turn?
