The British are battening down the hatches on #inflation, with 60% (of IPSOS/Mori respondents) thinking there is no chance inflation will return to 'normal' levels within the year.

You can imagine, for a party needing to call an election in the next two years, and trading on a claim for competent economic management, this is not good news.

You can bet private polling has shown this for a while & so increasingly shrill pivot to #culturewars now sort of makes a sort of desperate sense (for them)
