  1. I honestly don't know why you don't have way more subscribers, Richard - this is genius!!!😀👍👍👍 Share widely, people: including to all your (ex) Labour mates! This is one economist/analyst they really need to subscribe to! 👍👍👍👍

  8. BUT : WHAT about all the people on benefits, minimum wage, zero hours contract, all that crap: who can't afford new stuff, and can't afford what they need? Who are forced to buy polluting, expensive to maintain old bangers just to get to work? Are you telling me, Richard, that they don't want and need to consume more and better stuff? 😏 I think THAT would be your "growth answer". Make sure more gets to the people at the BOTTOM of the economic scale, NOT those higher up, who already "have enough". I thought you knew this already? 🙄 Austerity is a blight. Ditto service industries. If people are counting every penny (even middle class people) and giving a large tranche of their income to greedy energy companies, they won't have money to go out. To spend on restaurants, pubs, entertainments, even going to the cinema, which is expensive now. End austerity! 😠

  10. I bet you anything, that FOOD inflation rates, are still considerably higher than that, Richard! 😏

  11. I wouldn't be excited about Trump either, Richard! (Mind you, I wouldn't be that excited about Kamala Harris winning either. I would only be excited if Jill Stein won! 💚) I think that Americans are desperate financially, and that they've reelected Trump, because they want him to "make America great again", and revive what Americans call their middle class. But once they find his protectionist and racist policies don't work, they won't vote for a Republican the next time! (And Trump can't stand again, according to the US Constitution.) I agree with you that Musk's involvement is a bit worrying. He should keep his nose out of politics! And if there is more inflation due to tariffs - well the good thing about the US system, is that they vote the entire House of Representatives in or out in two years! So Trump will lose control of the House. (Unlike here, where lazy careerist MPs, plus the likes of Farage, can sit there undisturbed for five years! 😏😏😏)

  13. But you NEED to own stuff, to operate in a modern society. We're not all living in the rainforest here.. 😏😏

  14. It might "go away": but it's a ruddy pain while it's here!! 😏😏 I would like to propose something. Why can't we have a "windfall tax" on supermarkets, when Tesco announces record profits, all made off our backs, using inflation as their excuse? 😏

  27. "They think it's all over" (secretly) - well it is now!! 😁 Or will be quite soon, hopefully, once the Labour party kicks out Starker and provides a viable alternative. 😏 Winning Hartlepool isn't going to save the robbers' party... 😏👎 Great analysis, Richard. I shall be sharing and recommending it!!

  30. Rachel Reeves is an old cow: and sites like Times Radio are stupid enough to fall for her bullsh*t!! 😏😏 As if she was "angry" that she "had" to make cuts "because of the Tories" and this mythical "£20 billion black hole". 😏 🕳 All lies. She is making those cuts because she wants to make them. 👎 The one bright spot is that junior doctors, nurses and teachers are getting (a little) above inflation pay rises. (I suppose that's so they don't all emigrate to Australia.) But I don't see why this has to be at the expense of the old age pensioners. Is Reeves trying to create divisions between generations, or what? 🤔 #worstchancellorever

  32. There isn't any NEGATIVE inflation, though, Richard. 😏 And food is still going up, as far as I can see. Catered food especially. They want some horrendous price, for a little bit of 💩, at a garden center cafe, or a Premier Inn restaurant, or something like that. Much worse even than last year..

  39.  @TheCorkscrew24  Trouble is, the French now own EDF!! (That used to be South West Electricity, in my area!) Ablnd other foreign govts/companies own other energy companies, and also water companies.

  43. And here's me watching videos about how the Sahara desert is flooding and greening over... I think that the planet's water is just shifting around its distribution.

  44. But (neo) Keynesianism is the way to go. It made Western societies prosperous once: it can again. Monetarism is BUNK.

  45. Well: doubtless AI should be used to run our water systems! (It could be powered by hydroelectric.) Would depend on who was programming it though. 😏 The water used to cool computer banks could be recycled for agriculture. After all, it's not radioactive!
