Starmer tells Labour MPs his foreign trips can help fix cost of living crisis
Inflation is caused by excess money chasing limited goods and services. So, if Starmer’s demand for goods and services exits the UK economy – even for a day or two – then inflation will be lower than it would be if he’d stayed at home.
Isn’t that the Foreign Secretaries job?
I confess to not remembering who the current incumbent is, so I had to search and found out it is Yvette Cooper. What a wonderful endorsement of her capabilities.
On the plus side we’ve heard next to nothing from her for several months now.
In fairness she is not as bad as her predecessor – the vicious racist moron David Lammy
Bringing back a suitcase of Manchesters or Winstons and selling them on to the kurdish mini-mart reduces cigarette prices so there is that.
So if we give away all of Starmer’s possessions, gather up all his available money as cash and set fire to it in front of him, this will also help reduce inflation?
Ah, I think we’d reduce inflation further if we sold the possessions and added those funds to the fire.
We should do all of this regardless, just on first principles and for grins.
Better if he just stays abroad then.
You’d still be paying his fecking, so special it needed legislation, pension.
Like cockroaches or herpes, you don’t get rid of a Spanner easily
Don’t think much of Tim’s economic analysis there. Almost of Spanner’s UK consumption of goods & services continue whether he’s on one of his jaunts or not. H’s still consuming accommodation, capital cost of transport, various services & energy costs. About the only thing the UK escapes is his personal food intake. Then there’s the additional consumption of his UK supplied air travel etc.Plus what support is supplied by UK embassies.
It really would be cheaper to keep him at home. Preferably in fetters in a cellar.
He might like that.
Whatever did happen to those pretty vandals who attacked Starmer’s properties?
So, he spends £20k in Paris. Doesn’t that money eventually come back to the UK? So, any “reduction” is quite temporary, and the UK taxpayers are out £20k for luxury hotels and restaurants.
