Microsoft who pay £60m tax on the £5bn they make in the UK are very very very mad that the UK regulatory authorities said their Activision deal was monopolistic. This means that apparently, their most lucrative market in Europe is now a bad place to do business.

Everybody's bleating cos they've been prevented from further wetting their beaks.

Don't mention the war. I did once, but I think I got away with it.

Global food prices began rising after the pandemic as economies started to recover, and the impact, combined with the Ukraine invasion, has been severe.

The UK is the only major economy to not return to pre-pandemic levels, so the covid excuse doesn't work.

Brexit has caused this problem.

No, I expect them to indulge in mental gymnastics, throwing tantrums and uttering falsehoods to avoid any scrutiny over their folly.

And they always deliver.

And anyone who won't admit that there are several influencing factors to the cost of living rises has a clear agenda.

You only have to read the one eyed shite on this thread to confirm that.

Brexit is by far the dominant factor in the UKs economic decline and decline in living standards, followed by government policy over the last 13 years.
