Prices going up is usually a bad thing. If food, rents and energy prices go up too much living standards fall and people on lower incomes are particularly badly affected as they spend a big proportion of their incomes on basics.Better off people are made to spend very big proportions of their income on a wide array of taxes. When they go up people rein in spending or leave the country.
Governments facing an inflation often intervene to control prices. They offer to stop rents or food prices or energy going up. This is popular when they start to do it, holding out hope of relief from ever rising and increasingly unaffordable bills. It becomes unpopular when people find out it cannot work in the longer term, as it stifles supply and investment in more capacity. It will lead to higher prices as we see in UK energy.
The current government presided over a near doubling of inflation in its first 16 months. It has increased the number of areas subject to price control and has exercised existing powers to control prices.
Despite or because of price controls energy has got dearer, with increases in managed prices. The government’s big interventions in favour of more renewables has hiked energy costs.
Rail fares have gone up, with a large government pay settlement for train drivers adding to cost pressures.
Water bills have shot up with government deciding to require or allow the industry to invest much more in new pipes and water works.They need to catch up with the big increase in population brought about by government migration policy.
Food bills have gone up,with domestic farmers growing less thanks to higher taxes and withdrawal of subsidies.
Rents have shot up thanks to extensive new controls and taxes on landlords. Many smaller landlords are exiting the market. Government contractors have been bidding up rents to give priority to recently arrived migrants.
Wherever price controls have been tried it leads to less supply. To get prices under control you need more supply. Dear energy created by overriding markets is now leading to many industrial closures, driving home supply down further and adding to inflationary pressures.
November 20, 2025
Indeed nearly everything the government has done and is still doing is driving up inflation. Landlord licensing,
the vast NI grab, all the other tax increases, the minimum wage increases, the OTT employment lunacy, the workers rights bill, the zealot Miliband rip off energy lunacy, the road blocking agenda, the failure to frack and drill, the burning of imported wood at Drax, the VAT on school fees, the benefit payments that discourage working, the 20% IHT on small businesses and farms, the EU alignment lunacy… Much of this lunacy started under Cameron, May, Boris and abandon ship Sunak.

The current government are either moronic idiots or they do actually want to destroy the economy, kill jobs, drive down living standards and push the wealthy and hardworking overseas. What other rational explanations?
I watched the Spectator education debate yesterday.
Toby Young, Spectator columnist and founder of the West London Free School, with historian David Starkey to take on veteran broadcaster and author David Aaronovitch and political commentator Stella Tsantekidou over private schools.
I have never heard or read anything from David Aaonovitch or Stella Tsantekido that made any sense whatsoever and they are both hugely tedious with it too. The left showing its even politics of envy and emotion over brain. A totsl iinability to think rationally. A good and entertaining performance from Toby and Starkey though. These two )and myself) all went to Grammar schools before most were killed largely by Thatcher as education Sec. and PM and later by Labour then Cameron. May said she would have more again but abjectly failed as she did with everything she touched and this ended up in the Lords. Many became decent private schools but only for those who could pay.
November 20, 2025
Ours was first a Private school then made a Grammar after the Education Acts 1944 / 1946.
November 20, 2025
Evil no even!
November 20, 2025
What is needed given the dire state of public finance is more people paying for their children’s education with tax breaks or a voucher system. Not a mad VAT grab (that will not even raise any net tax) on top of school fees forcing even more to use the state system.
November 20, 2025
Off topic, just thought you would like to know that re the CV19 jab, 11,000+ NZ medics applied and received an exemption from being jabbed but carried non jabbing patients, never disclosed the fact of the exemption and continued to be paid.
Exemptions from universal laws are the dna of the German politics we fought in WWII, which we thought we had beaten.
We see it in Britain when a British Deputy PM is absolved from breaking a law but her constituents have to sell their homes to pay the fine for breaking the same law.

So the sick joke Covid Inquiry is finally coming to a close. The projected total cost of the UK Covid-19 Inquiry is approximately £234 million, which makes it the most expensive statutory inquiry in UK history under the Inquiries Act 2005.
It seems they will get all their conclusions wrong the whole think has been a sick and deluded joke.
The conclusions should be:-
We should never have locked down – the Barrington declaration people were right.
The Covid “Vaccines” did far more harm than good.
The vaccine regulators and politicians should obviously not be funded by Big Pharma or be compromised by them.
The reporting follow up (as the “vaccines” were rolled out) abjectly failed to spot the huge net harms and to withdraw them rapidly.
Boris and Sunak therefore borrowed and wasted circa £500 billions doing huge net harms. more like double this if you add on Net Harm Net Zero. Plus the £250m for this joke inquiry.
Coercing the Covid “Vaccines” to people essentially not at risk (health people, people under circa 60 and people who had already had Covid) was mad, this even had the Vaccines been safe and effective the stats say they were neither.
Hiding the statistics that clearly show this as the UK is doing is also a further evil adding insult and further harms to injury.
I make no charge for my conclusions, these should have been fairly obvious to sensible and honest scientists at the time.

This is a classic Marxist government that thinks it can control everything by decree. Ir doesn’t take into account public behaviour.
I volunteer at the local hospital store for the cafe. Yesterday a new consignment of chocolate bars had increased in price from 89p to 99p and the government tells us inflation is 3.6%
We hear a lot about our pension triple lock being unaffordable but we have one of the lowest pensions in Europe. Interfering with our pensions whilst housing gimmigrants in hotels and paying Mauritius to take the Chagos islands would be a very poor move politically.
We are heading back to the 70s with a prices and incomes policy the next step. It didn’t work then and it won’t work now.

O/T I’ve just been sent a video made by Danny Tommo on the beaches in France. He has uncovered documents from government and NGOs detailing how the whole boat scam is carefully orchestrated.
There are no gangs, but a carefully crafted plan between London and Paris to ship these people to Britain.
The government is the gang.
Perhaps you would like to comment.

That would certainly make the ‘pieces fit together’. Perhaps that’s why they’re all so scared of Farage.
BTW, Current electricity demand is 46 GW, I checked online that the installed gas powered electricity generating capacity is 36 GW. Most of the balance is coming from wind. So, if we don’t have wind or solar or imports from ‘friendly’ neighbours, the lights and heat pumps will be turned off. Prepare for winter folks.
November 20, 2025
name me a ‘friendly’ neighbour?
November 20, 2025
I’m not at all surprised Ian. I first suggested it was all orchestrated by the French and British Governments about 2 years ago. It’s the only thing which explains the “failure” to stop the invasion and the very close coordination between the French and British authorities.
November 20, 2025
Ian
I said long ago all this was a scam between France and the UK. I believe this may have been agreed during Theresa May’s disastrous premiership as part of the BREXIT agreement.
November 20, 2025
@Ian Wragg – you start to wonder how many in Parliament are paid to look the other way, they give the ‘appearance’ that that is the plan – as there appears to be no other rational explanation. We don’t need other countries criminals, we don’t need those that want to enter the UK by illeagaly forcing their way in. Parliament could stop the boats tomorrow if not today – they just need to want to!
All the time those in parliament just sits on their hands saying its not me its the others, they devalue the point of parliament and democracy. Then again that also may be the point

Our best and brightest are fleeing, with 257,000 departing last year, we are mugged by more confiscatory doom loop taxes. The economy is no growing per cap, and many will go cold this winter thanks to the insanity of net zero.

The last Budget could have been designed to create Stagflation. The one which will be announced next week will only make the situation worse because they are not prepared to deal with the underlying problems which are basically: too many people; too many not working; too many who require welfare to top-up their income; too many in the Public Sector sucking on the teat; the Net Zero scam and others, which are regularly identified on this blog.
To be fair they inherited an appalling situation because the Not-a-Conservative-Party and the actions of Osborne, Hammond, Sunak and Hunt helped create it – particularly Sunak with the ridiculous Covid printing/spending policy he came up with, which didn’t even have basic checks to identify fraudulent claims.
The can has now been kicked down the road as far as it can but economically illiterate and delusional Labour MPs won’t allow even the tiniest retrenchment in the Welfare State.
Instead they’d rather drive out entrepreneurs; those with marketable skills and the financially secure elderly …. and continue to import those who drain the welfare system, polishing their halos as they do it.
Their policies are so obviously destructive that they can only be deliberate: UN Agenda 21 / Agenda 2030 in action: levelling down the UK to 3rd world standards.

@Donna – as you suggested the other day ‘part of the plan’ As TwoTierKier says he doesn’t care for the UK Parliament and sees the Marxist/Socialist WEF as his leading light. He said that in an interview with the media. They the WEF have at their core ‘the Great Reset’. A situation that requires the destruction of simply just everything so as to build a new society in their own ‘personal’, very personal image. Of course with their leadership and personal control of the Politburo.
Those that doubt, of that theory, just look around and look for another explanation for the hole that is being dug. 2TK wants it, Parliament wants it, the electorate wont have a choice.

Labour seem to jump with joy claiming that inflation has reduced,
It has not. Just the rate of increase has reduced.
Costs are still increasing and have now going further up by 3.6%.
That’s a massive 80% higher than the Bank of England’s 2% target!
November 20, 2025
@Bloke – how many real operation/companies through out this world would stick with those that miss their targets by 80%.
The dumb wits we have in parliament all lacking in common sense, logic and basic maths probably think 1.6% is minor something of nothing. But as you say @Bloke it is a massive 80% fail.

Either they are totally mad or they really do want to destroy the economy, living standards and health in the UK while driving up crime in a doom loop agenda. No other explanations are there? I do not think Reeves is mad and she is reasonably bright and with good A levels in sound subjects (this despite reading PPE Oxon) but she will not be allowed to do what is needed by this lot of dire Labour MPs.
She should therefore (if she is moral) simply resign and point this reality out. But she was it seems told indoctrinated as a very young child “we vote for Kinnock’s lot” by her parents.

Perhaps Ms Reeves’s parents were also indoctrinates by their parents into socialist “thinking” at a young age. Daft religions can be very dangerous often a form of child abuse as we seen now with Climate Alarmism!

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has said she is willing to consider “a big increase” in payments to failed asylum seekers to persuade them to leave the UK voluntarily. She told the BBC this was often “better value for money for the taxpayer” than the cost of people remaining in the country. Mahmood also defended her plans to start deporting families who have been rejected for asylum, even where this includes children.
The proposals are part of a major overhaul of the UK’s asylum system, which was announced in Parliament this week and has attracted criticism from some Labour MPs and peers.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4’s Political Thinking with Nick Robinson, Mahmood was asked whether paying failed asylum seekers to leave was the right thing to do with taxpayers’ money. She argued looking after failed asylum seekers currently costs the taxpayer £30,000 per individual, per year, making cash payments “value for money”, even if sums increase past the current upper limit, understood to be £3,000.
“I’ve already asked my officials to pilot a small programme where we offer more than we currently do, just to see how that changes behaviour,” she said. “I haven’t alighted on the full sums involved yet but I’m willing to consider a big increase on what we currently pay and that’s because… that’s often better value for money for the taxpayer. “I know it sticks in the craw of many people and they don’t like it but it’s value for money, it does work and a voluntary return is often the best way to get people to return to their home country as quickly as possible.”
PLease, pretty please go away, here’s a shed load of cash to compensate for you not making us a worldwide laughing stock.
Failed asylum ought to mean deportation within days – whatever happened to the rule of law in this country?
Reply. Yes another pull factor to come. How will she stop a returnee coming back to UK to get a second payment?

Pay the Danegeld, never be rid of the Dane. But the Home Secretary is helping her own. Why are we surprised?
November 21, 2025
She, and the other idiots who support paying large sums to inconvenient invaders do not understand the incentives which drive criminals and they do not know our history. Rudyard Kipling made it very simple for them:
The Danegeld
IT IS always a temptation to an armed and agile nation
To call upon a neighbour and to say:–
“We invaded you last night–we are quite prepared to fight,
Unless you pay us cash to go away.”
And that is called asking for Dane-geld,
And the people who ask it explain
That you’ve only to pay ’em the Dane-geld
And then you’ll get rid of the Dane!
It is always a temptation for a rich and lazy nation,
To puff and look important and to say:–
“Though we know we should defeat you,
we have not the time to meet you.
We will therefore pay you cash to go away.”
And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
But we’ve proved it again and again,
That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.
It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation,
For fear they should succumb and go astray;
So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,
You will find it better policy to say:–
“We never pay any-one Dane-geld,
No matter how trifling the cost;
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the nation that plays it is lost!”
November 20, 2025
Good morning.
This is only part of the story. Farmers’, such as Harry Metcalfe are being paid not to grow food. Instead, they are being offered subsidies to leave their land fallow for a number of years.
So the taxpayer is essentially paying twice. Once to stop growing food. Then again to import food at a higher price.
November 20, 2025
Sir John
“you need more supply” so true, along with more competition. Here you are referring to the real ‘free-market’ . The UK Parliament is fighting the free-market as well as fighting the people, when you remove money from the market place, the economy, you kill things off. That then removes the flow of the tax intake, then creating the need to look for more avenues to tax, the spiral of decline.
Parliament is essentially there after ensuring we are kept safe to create a simple framework to encourage every one to max out potential
November 20, 2025
None of the works when many States around the World seek to weaponise trade, fight free-trade. Cheap imports from those that do not allow reciprocal equal arrangements is just one State asset stripping another. The high profile one here is the Auto trade, the UK home grown industry has been decimated as the result of others stoking up volumes with massive subsidies while denying access to their markets. That is not free-trade!
The UK Parliament has bought into the concept that cheap imports are good, while not recognising the are encouraging the removal of UK wealth. Then they wonder why tax receipts are a struggle.
Its the UK Parliament alone that is forcing poverty on the nation and its people, they appear to be batting for those that have weaponised the asset/wealth stripping nations. Free-trade is equal trade not a contrived one way street

@Kenneth – A parliament without the experiences of real work and life so easily gets distracted by their own personal ego and self-esteem. They have not only lost their way they have lost purpose. The next question is why are they there at all?
November 20, 2025
For umpteen governments in a row 650 so-called MPs representing the people of their constituency fail to support and ensure nonsense Acts are repealed, and the ‘bleedin’ obvious needed laws and financial rules are warped and misrepresented to the people. The levels of authority often referred to as Establishment have been shown to be idiotic, unintelligible, even corrupted, yet the same archaic process of what is laughingly termed democracy continues in the UK.
If ever there was a time for revolution it has to be now.
November 20, 2025
Normally in Communist countries price controls are used to reduce prices, like this government is trying to do with rents. But this government is also price controlling energy prices HIGHER via Net Zero policies and subsidies and this is increasing prices for a range of goods and services such as food and manufactured goods which use energy. Their NI and tax increases are also controlling prices higher. This is the reason that for the first time in years UK inflation is not tracking Eurozone inflation with significantly higher rates in UK since Labour came to power- in the Eurozone currently it is 2.1% and here 3.6%
November 20, 2025
No wonder inflation is rising with the government making everything so expensive – they can’t even stop prices going up!
Socialist policies and dogma are responsible for all of this – Just following the debunked science of climate change has made prices rise for no good reason.
Therefore one could say; It is labour policy to:
– reduce food supply by making farming on the scale we need impossible;
– reduce what we can produce until de-industrialisation is complete;
– inhibit energy supply to both reduce population and close more factories.
The Tories followed these policies too, confirming that they were running non-conservative policies.
November 20, 2025
I agree with much of what you write Sir John but rail prices have nothing to do with pay settlements. The price rises are codified at inflation plus whatever
November 20, 2025
What can you say about such incompetence by our Government? Everything they do is the opposite of what needs to be done. It is an old-fashioned principle, but still absolutely true today.
Income £1, expenditure 95p = happiness. Income £1.00, expenditure £1.05p = misery. Just scale up the numbers and that is the Government’s problem today!
What does it say about our education system that so many of our MPs now, and over the last 25 years, are so economically illiterate? I exclude our host from that, but the previous Conservative Government’s refusal to listen to him again shows their utter stupidity. It seems most, if not all, of the people posting here can also see the problem clearly, so why can’t most of our MPs?

They’ve certainly fixed the prices of domestic energy and vehicle fuel with there policies of renewable subsidy, net-zero and taxation
November 20, 2025
The price of a service or commodity paid by the consumer ia all too often affected by government policy. Perhaps this should be addressed before thoughts of price controls ever arise.
Start with energy. Even you have not thought fit to explain or unravel the birds nest of taxes, rules, business and political incompetence that results in our energy costing four times what it costs in the USA.
Energy cost underpins just about everything that happens in the UK. It has caused the departure overseas of much of our industry. It effectvely blocks the developement of the data base industries of the future. Additionally it directly affects the cost of growing, packaging, distributing, selling, and the act of purchasing every single tomato for example.
Then there is all the unnecessary regulation, EU and home grown that increases end cost. Only regulate or legislate to avoid abuse.
Rectify all the above before indulging thoughts of communist inspired price controls.
November 20, 2025
“The government’s big interventions in favour of more renewables has hiked energy costs.”
Absolutely correct. So high are the subsidies, aka “policy costs” or “non-commodity costs”, that a CEO of an energy company told the ES&NZ Committee on 15/10/2025 : “If I look at the non-commodity costs, policy costs, network costs, then some of the modelling we have suggests that you could get to a position by 2030 where if the wholesale [electricity] price was zero bills would still be the same as today because of the increase in the non-commodity costs.” According to Professor Gordon Hughes of the Renewable Energy Foundation the UK taxpayer has already funded £220bn in renewable subsidies (£8000/household) since 2002 (2024 prices) and is currently funding £26bn/year. NESO has costed its Clean Power 2030 project at “over £40bn annually”, so another £8000/household by 2030 by which time it will be necessary to not only subsidise the renewables, the grid upgrades and the battery backups etc. but also the gas generated backup which will be needed to be available at any time to provide full power whilst only used for 5% of the time. NESO’s plan also necessitates rolling blackouts, called euphemistically, Demand Side Response (DSR), at times of peak demand and when electricity over the interconnectors is not available or insufficient and this will also have a cost to each household. Furthermore, the energy that is generated by thousands of exposed wind turbines spread out over the North Sea and brought ashore by hundreds of miles of exposed undersea cabling will not be secure from attack by cheap drones.

Same old story. Socialists are incapable of learning. When socialism fails as it invariably does, it is always the fault of others, never the socialists. As Michelle Dewberry says on GB News,. “If only people would understand’. They never will because they are faithful followers of a failed ideology and blind to truth and their biggest failure is their inability to understand human nature.
November 20, 2025
The control freaks in society simply refuse to accept the market is the ultimate control mechanism in society.
The left side of the political divide are particularly reluctant to allow any support for free market forces which s why the price control mindset is particularly prominent.
The sad attempt top control runaway energy prices by putting a ceiling on the cost consumers will pay has simply burdened the tax payers with funding the gap between consumer price paid and supplier cost.
Even when these things are progressed it does not stop the growth of unpaid bills. The consumers are possibly working on the premise, if the state is prepared t pay some f the bill then they can be left to pay all of it. The unpaid energy bills are currently around £4.2 billion and rising.

As more business is moved into nationalised companies, profits are removed and growth is stalled. There is no return for investors, shareholders (pensions, isas, bonds). It is run for a large workforce who often doesn’t have enough to do so take a lot of time off work. Their employee’s perks and benefits are much higher than the private sector so we have a generation of intelligent kids wanting to work in them rather than make their own way, hire others, grow and develop. Whilst at University they are becoming socialists and communists, until the shock of the amount of taxes they need to pay to fund that, then they become anti-retired folks.
