Starmer's vision quest

[icowden]

Trump is not a fan of Carney and Canada restrictions on US trade. He is seeking far better trading agreements.

And fails every time.

He plays hard for deals he wants, normally settles for something less that he actually wants.

Because he's too dim to understand what he is doing.

Everyone gets outraged over his methods.

Because he's destabilising world trade and causing hardship for his citizens. He killed hundreds of thousands of them during Covid.

Why should it be locked to anything?

Chancellor can decide at each budget what they want to do. Same as other benefits, allowances and the minimum wage.

Benefits for health/out of work normally follow CPI.

This year I think the basic allowances in Universal Credit are CPI+ to try and restore what's lost by freezes and by CPI undershooting inflation on essentials.

I'm going to agree with you as now you can see the issues clearly then
