Election result; that was a brave prediction. As someone who has voted Conservative all this century I can tell you that I am voting for change on this occasion (i.e. not Conservative and not Labour). I voted for Brexit back in 2016, since 2020 when Brexit took effect the government has done NOTHING. The exception to that being that Bojo the Clown has shown his mettle and his successors have been equally rudderless.
Why was the election called so suddenly? Two reasons. 1) The rate of inflation will go up later this year. That is because the current yearly inflation data-set will lose a negative month contribution from some time in last autumn and that will be replaced by the current trend data, which will be low but will result in an up-tick in CPI of around 1%. 2) Something is afoot that has not yet made it to public awareness. There was a quiet recommendation to stockpile water (they didn't use that word) and that can only be because of any of a number of anticipated threats. Such as:- NATO are perhaps about to start massive provocation in Ukraine, or China are possibly about to annex Taiwan, or possibly the next pandemic is about to sweep the globe, or some other catastrophe which we are yet to encounter. The only thing of which you can be absolutely certain is that the government would not admit to knowing about anything until they have put in place some kind of blame-deflection. But hey ... the warm weather is here at last. Get out there and have a bask with a beer or ice-cream.
Great information, from someone that knows what’s what thanks,
