          The inflationary pressures of recent years are a direct result of the massive spending and borrowing the government did during COVID. Yes, Truss too, but the majority is from COVID.

            I think more Brexit than Truss, COVID and Russian’s war. Two of those are British specific and done to us by Conservative governments. It’s their fault.
