#4>A tight jobs market and strong corporate pricing power means that firms can pass on costs in higher prices and workers can demand wage increases, fueling inflation further

They should look into taxing the various British Overseas Territories which usually top lists of tax havens across the world [1].
I am not sure if the regular British public is just ignorant of the existence of these, or prefers to run with the limited set of facts that their Conservative government (now in its 13th year) is presenting to them. The Brexit shitshow seems to suggest the former.

Who is this 'we'?
Only the poor and the middle class are worse off and being squeezed by the CoL. The big industry players, ruling, upper and asset owning class are all making bank. Do they think people like Tony Blair or Lord McMansion are affected that food, electricity and gas are all up?
There is no 'we' here.
