🚨 | If the world grew more food, produced more energy, and stopped limiting oil production the #CostofLiving is fixed.

💥 Supply is reason for inflation not demand.

We don't suddenly want to eat more, use more energy or drive more.

Increasing interest rates don't fix it.
We do of course use more energy and oil than during the lockdowns imposed by Governments.

It makes me wonder if the companies are screwing us over for the money back they lost - its how business work.

But the world is not that much different to 2019.
As Mervyn King explains, printing load of money during lockdown a key problem in inflation.

Punishing families who work hard to buy a home is not the way.

The biggest drivers of world inflation are energy costs, food prices (not helped by energy) and oil.

Fix them you fix the current crisis.

🚨 | Small boat migrant numbers in 2022 are now higher than every other year before put together.

In 2022 so far we have had over 39,400, in 2019 it was 299.

The infrastructure cannot cope with the numbers to process and hotels costing circa £3.5bn a year.

For context the cost to provide temporary accommodation alone is more than the £2.5bn top rate of income tax axe that Liz Truss announced.

That was unfunded which saw lots of criticism but yet the UK is expected to just keep finding more money for this.
Albanian nationals became the largest group arriving in small boats across the channel in Q2 2022 - accounting for 26%.

Many people who racked up Covid fear with projections of cases/deaths that were well off reality pop up with the tweets about Climate Change and its projected impact - mainly doom and gloom.

When you get one topic so wrong it's hard to trust commentary on the other topic.
The group that fed into SAGE with modelling accuracy was awful statsjamie.co.uk/covid-19-death…
Sir David King who came up with absolute nonsense projections in heatwave deaths this summer is head of the Climate Crisis Advisory Group.

He is also part of the partisan and extreme Independent Sage group.

Join the dots you start questioning what is going on.

🚨 | In the past 22 weeks we have had 10,615 more deaths than we would expect for the time of year if the chance of dying was the same as pre-pandemic.

💥 For the latest week, deaths 8.0%, or 830 deaths higher than what you would expect based on pre-pandemic death rates.

1/ Image
Looking at deaths from all causes, over the past 22 weeks deaths are above expectation for all age groups, except those aged 10-14.

The largest percentages above expectation are those aged 35 to 59.

Younger have fewer deaths so small fluctuations can impact percentages.

2/ Image
Excluding deaths where Covid is mentioned on the death certificate we see that there are fewer deaths than you would expect among those aged 75 to 89.

The highest % of deaths above average with Covid not mentioned on the death certificate are those aged 45 to 54.

🚨 | Random fact-check company @LogicallyIN has done a fact-check on a recent statement 'August 2022 saw the highest mortality rate in England in 15 years'

Their fact-check is FALSE ❌

See thread

1/

logically.ai/factchecks/lib…
The graphic in question which they are fact checking shows death rates in England for all persons in August of each year.

In August 2022 the age-standardised death rate was 915.7, the highest since August since 2007 when it was 986.

2/ Image
To get to these numbers you download one of the ONS spreadsheets (link here) -> ons.gov.uk/file?uri=/peop…

Table 1 shows the death rates for every month in England for all people from Jan 2001 onwards.

Taking the August numbers you get this data... shown in the image.
