And jezzer continues his quest to convince us that he's not a fanatical tory supporter by fanatically searching out anything that is pro tory or anti labour.

I think you're getting confused as to what bullying/ stalking is. There are only a few of us posting here and only a few active threads. It's highly likely that we can all see and remember the patterns of posting without specifically targeting you. You're anti Labour/ pro-Brexit / anti-Trans. You can argue that you aren't and that you're just playing devil's advocate, but your posting history clearly says otherwise. If it walks like a duck and all that.

Interesting explanation of the energy cap being adopted in the EU, and an explanation of how the energy market is priced (using us as the example).

The Budget hits the poorest 10% the hardest, and the richest 10% the least, thereby increasing wealth disparity.

The OBR are forecastingΒ the biggest squeeze in living standards on record. But how does this compare across the income distribution?

This chart shows the gap between rising incomes & rising cost of essentials (MIS), as a % of income. Rising nominal income growth (blue bars) is far lower than the rising cost of essentials (green bars) for all but the highest income 10%.

An excellent chat between veteran broadcasters, talking about interviewing Johnson and Truss during times of crisis (jump to 08m:30s).
