    Oh please.
    Once prices go up, they have a habbit of staying that way, regardless of lower inflation.

      Obviously. If prices rise 10% during 10% inflation then they'll still rise a further 2% during 2% inflation. There's no price reduction, just a slower rise.

    The UK is economy is collapsing, we are in financial ruin and there are rising taxes due to a combination of 4 reasons:
    1. Recession in 2008/2009 - Leading to government borrowing, bank bailouts and austerity measures . Due to austerity measures, there has been a lack investment in the NHS and public services since 2008/09. This lack of investment has now caught up with us as its effect has been more noticeable in recent years. Back in 2007, the UK was one of the worlds strongest economists predicted our GDP would grow 3% per year. Also in 2007, £1 was worth around $2. From around 1997 until 2009, the UK economy was stronger than any other G7 country. It took the UK until around 2020 for the UK economy to go back to 2007 levels. To give you an indication of how bad this recession was, the UK government debt as a percentage of GDP before the recession was 41%. In 2012 this jumped to 83% and right now is greater than 98% !
    2. Brexit - Resentment from the recession played a part in false stories told by ministers to gain voter support. Economists and analysts at Cambridge Econometrics found that, by 2035, the UK is anticipated to have three million fewer jobs, 32% lower investment, 5% lower exports and 16% lower imports, than it would have had been. The report states that the UK will be £311bn worse off by 2035 due to leaving EU. The government borrowed more money to pay the divorce bill triggering markets to believe if we could ever pay this back, so the value of the pound dropped, inflation increased. Up until Brexit in 2020 the UK had year-on-year GDP growth. However, the GDP growth from 2008/09 to 2020 is a false picture as the growth in these years was due to austerity measures. Brexit made our situation much, much worser. Our politicians lied to the public e.g. Boris Bus, blaming migrants, we will be better off after Brexit and our economy will recover due to UK trade-deals etc. The economic risk due to Brexit was huge and then Covid happened.
    3. Covid - The government borrowed more money again as we had to bail out the whole economy. There was massive drop in GDP again and it crashed, all business were shutting down. The UK is the only G7 country to never economically recover after covid. Yes, we had coronavirus vaccination costs, support schemes, grant and loans but all European countries did similar (apart from furloughing the nation cost) and the whole world was in the same boat. Let’s not forget the PPE scandal, bounce back loan fraud, eat-out-to-help-out and ministers holding shares in vaccination firms.
    4. Political mismanagement in all of the above - constant leadership changes, rising crime rates. UK government borrowing is out control leading to higher inflation and rising taxes. Russia/Ukraine conflict, I’m excluding from the 4 reasons as all European countries are in the same boat, other European countries are more impacted as they rely greater than UK on Russian gas and trade. High streets in some areas are like a ghost town, Debenhams etc has gone. National wages have stagnated across the country. Home ownership is a right only reserved for the rich. Less and less deposable income for the average Brit. The government appears to be nothing to prevent the average Brit from becoming poorer.
    I can write even more but getting angry whilst typing. The UK is in a complete and utter mess. We are in cost of living crisis. The government doesn’t have enough money and neither does the public. It will take one or two generations not years to fix it.

      @@er4767 And the amazing part is that quantitive easing after 08 saw the wealthy get wealthier, buy more assets which they can take loans out for using those assets as collateral, which is brilliant for them in a low interest economy. This brings all the prices up for everyone else due to inflation and their assets skyrocket in value giving them more incentive to buy more for themselves and the cycle repeats. COVID too saw the biggest rise in wealth from the ultra rich because all the money borrowed went straight through the country right into their pockets. Not to mention more QE and where did all that money actually go? Not to us evidently, we all got a hell of a lot worse off while they thrived.

That will mean cuts. The cost of all those tax increases hasn't even fed through yet either. Oh and that 0.1% for inflation was down to less demand. Which is a dire situation.

      The demand for woven cloth, the main driver behind the industrial revolution, was on the rise and continued on that path well into the 20th century. With that demand came a need for more textile workers - those labour-saving pieces of machinery that revolutionised that industry needed human hands and minds (operators). In effect, AI will replace those hands and minds, so exactly what jobs do you think people are going to do?
