1/ Thread: The next big Tory lie - Inflation
Sunak says “he’ll halve inflation this year” at his press conference.
No reporter asks him how exactly is it that he can control inflation and if he can why hasn’t he done it sooner?

2/ Inflation will fall ALL around the world this year. It’s a relative measure between two points in time. Prices spiked up last year because of the hike in energy prices especially after the Ukraine invasion. Unless there is another spike like that, inflation WILL go down.

3/ Energy prices this March are likely to be much lower than last year. Energy is a big part of inflation calculations. So, inflation WILL fall automatically. The Government doesn’t have to lift a finger for inflation to fall.

4/ It’s alarming not one reporter picked Sunak up on this. The media are going to enable a Tory narrative of “we cut inflation” if they don’t challenge the Tories on this fake line.
We know the media to be kind are slack or to be honest are Tory enablers. So, up to us.

5/ Starting today, we have challenge this Tory spin that they cut inflation. Ask the journos who repeat this uncritically why they’re doing it when they know it’s fake?

6/ The #BrokenMedia have enabled the Tories all the way since 2010, don’t let them help the Tories again for the next election.
