Keir Starmer Responds to the Air Tax Controversy



In a hastily arranged press conference outside Number 10, Prime Minister Keir Starmer addressed growing public bewilderment over Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ proposed Air Tax initiative.

“Let me be absolutely clear,” Starmer began, inhaling deeply before continuing. “Breathing is a fundamental right—but rights come with responsibilities. And sometimes, those responsibilities come with a small, adjustable fee.”

Pressed on whether he supported taxing oxygen intake via personal AirMetres™, Starmer dodged specifics but emphasized fiscal discipline:

“We remain committed to our manifesto pledges. We will not raise income tax, national insurance, or VAT for working people. But we never said anything about atmospheric consumption.”

When asked about the crackdown on bad jokes, Starmer was more direct:

“I’ve heard the one about the chicken crossing the road. It’s time we moved on.”

He refused to comment on the rumored exemption for Erics, stating only that “personal grievances should never shape national policy, unless they’re really funny.”

πŸ“‰ Political Fallout

  • Opposition MPs have demanded a full audit of the AirMetre procurement process.

  • The Green Party has expressed cautious optimism, noting that “less breathing might reduce carbon emissions.”

  • Meanwhile, Reform UK has launched a counter-campaign: “Let Britain Breathe.”

Would you like a mock editorial from The Daily Gasp or a parody interview with an outraged Eric? I’ve got plenty of satirical oxygen left in the tank.

Labour screws the UK big time

 

Rachel Reeves the UK terminator

οΎŸοΎ‡οΎ§ Here's a snapshot of the UK's economic pulse for the week ending 6 July 2025:

Growth & GDP

  • Q1 GDP growth held steady at 0.7%, making the UK the fastest-growing G7 economy for that quarter.

  • However, forecasts suggest slower growth ahead, with the Bank of England expecting Q2 GDP to rise just 0.25%, slightly above previous estimates.

Labour Market & Spending

  • The labour market is showing signs of weakening, though wage growth is below Bank of England projections, and core services inflation is easing.

  • Consumer spending is up: debit card transactions rose across all age groups, with a 14% year-on-year increase.

  • Yet, 26% of adults say they couldn’t afford an unexpected £850 expense, the highest rate since September 2024.

Housing & Energy

  • Mortgage approvals increased in May, with remortgaging hitting its highest level since Feb 2024.

  • Energy prices fluctuated: gas prices fell 5%, while electricity prices surged 42% week-on-week.

Business & Investment

  • Business sentiment is cautiously optimistic, with some indicators pointing to improving conditions.

  • The government is expected to announce tax hikes in the Autumn Budget to address fiscal shortfalls, possibly extending freezes on personal tax thresholds.

If you’d like a deeper dive into any of these areas—housing, inflation, or what’s next for interest rates—I’m ready to unpack it with you. Data Microsoft Copilot - Or as we call him Bert IT

πŸ“‰ Slower Growth Ahead

  • Q1 GDP growth at 0.7% was the best in the G7, but Q2 is forecasted to slow to 0.25%, suggesting momentum is fading.
  • That’s not catastrophic, but it does mean the government will need to work harder to sustain growth.

πŸ’Ό Labour Market & Spending

  • Wage growth is lagging, and inflation in core services is easing—good for prices, but not great for paychecks.
  • Consumer spending is up, especially via debit cards, but 26% of adults can’t afford a surprise £850 expense, which signals financial fragility.

🏠 Housing & ⚡ Energy

  • Mortgage activity is rising, especially remortgaging, which could reflect people trying to lock in better rates.
  • Gas prices dropped 5%, but electricity prices spiked 42% in one week, which is a huge hit for households.

πŸ“Š Business & Investment

  • Sentiment is “cautiously optimistic,” but tax hikes and frozen thresholds are looming in the Autumn Budget.
  • That could dampen investment and consumer confidence if not handled carefully.

🧠 So Did Labour “Screw the UK”?

That’s a strong claim—and one that’s being debated across the political spectrum. Some critics argue Labour’s benefit reforms and tax plans are hurting vulnerable groups. Others point to achievements like raising the minimum wage and stabilizing interest rates. It’s a mixed bag, and whether you see it as a “screw-up” or a tough balancing act depends on your lens.

If you want, I can help you explore:

  • How Labour’s welfare reforms are affecting different groups
  • What the Autumn Budget might mean for your finances
  • Whether the UK’s current trajectory is sustainable

Rachel Reeves bad chancellor

She has killed the UK

'Ticking tax timebomb' warning as UK economy shrinks 0.1% in May in fresh blow to Rachel Reeves

The Levo economic model fighted in continuous UK economic growth. Already the auto fudge it was going to have to inflict tax rises on the UK population. And now the UK economy last month shrank b y 1%.

This is going to leave a 4 figure budget deficit than the expected 22 billion. Tony Blair won 3 successive UK elections, You thought Jonathan Schiff and did he gotten around to those the next election inevitably .

Is it any surprise Rachel Reeves was in tears at the last UK PM question Question Time. Kia Sommer has declared his support for the troubled doomed Chancellor.

As he himself is dooned. And looking for an exit strategy like ambassador to the UN.

What is Labour’s biggest headache this week? You might think the answer is the world’s richest man taking digital potshots at Keir Starmer. But there’s an alternative contender: the bond markets.

Yesterday’s debt auction saw the government pay interest of 5.2 per cent on 30-year bonds – the highest level since May 1998. That reflects a number of factors: stubbornly high inflation (which has slowed interest rate cuts), weak UK economic growth, and anxieties over a second Donald Trump presidency.

The primary cause is less important than the effect: higher debt interest costs (which already stood at 3.9 per cent of GDP). The more Rachel Reeves spends on servicing government borrowing the less she has for everything else. That’s a serious problem when departments are already competing for scarce resources.

On 26 March, Reeves will deliver her Spring Statement to the House of Commons. The risk is that the accompanying forecast from the Office for Budget Responsibility will show that she is on the verge of breaking her fiscal rules (Capital Economics estimates that the Chancellor has already lost £8.9bn of her £9.9bn “headroom”).

Put this threat to the Treasury and they are clear that Reeves’ fiscal rules are “non-negotiable” and that she does not intend to repeat the tax rises seen in last year’s Budget. That leaves one alternative: new spending cuts (or “rooting out waste in public spending” as a Treasury spokesperson puts it).

Even before recent events, the fiscal climate was already nightmarish for Reeves. Remember that the Budget showed spending on unprotected departments – justice, transport, environment, local government and others – falling by 1.3 per cent in real terms from April 2026 onwards (a matter of deep anxiety among cabinet ministers).

The hope inside No 11 was that better-than-expected growth might ease the fiscal arithmetic but so far the reverse has proved the case. And even as spending capacity shrinks, spending demands are growing.

Why was Rachel Reeves in tears?

Try to look sad when you put out tears

If Rachel had a personal problem, no way would she have entered promises Question Time - a political bear pit of UK politics.

And Keir was so vocal about her staying as Chancellor. Rethink the Lady Duff protest too much! In this case the Lady here being Keir Starmer. If Rachel's physician was tenable as the crushing government eaters in recent weeks, the UK Prime minister would have said nothing.

There is talk of a 22. billion black hole in government finances. The financial chasm is opening up! Just noticing the blindingly obvious ,

I have been sitting for over a week that the Labour government will increase taxes in the autumn. There they have repeatedly declared they will not raise income tax, NBI thresholds or vat.

I can't help thinking if Rachel was moved it would release Labour from her financial assurances.

Keir Starmer sees inflation rate at 38%

Just so bad

In May Rachel Reeves saw the uk inflation rate hit 3.5% a month. Do the maths - that is 38% a year! This is at a historic high!


Inflation in the UK reached peak rates of around 25% in the mid-1970s, much higher than the inflation experienced in the past few decades. In comparison, current inflation rates, while elevated compared to previous years, remain below these extreme levels.

So a catastrophic inflation rate I was 25%. Under the UK they've administration of Sir Keir Starmer We haveWhat is access sleep hit 38%.

Russian meltdown

Putin's Russia on the way down

Russian economy meltdown as billionaires flee Moscow taking £85bn with them

The Russian oligarchs voted with their feet, and got the hell out of Russia.  And money talks big time in Russia.  Getting goal which off out of prison, before Yeltsin took over.

It must be remembered that Vladimir Putin is himself a billionaire political leader.  There with the crash of the Russian currency 13 has lost a lot of money.

And now 85,000,000 has left to the oligarchs fleeing Russia.  Theory that the Russian economy is headed towards bankruptcy.  And heard of for a modern economy.

In 2023, Russia's economy had a nominal GDP of approximately $2.021 trillion and a GDP per capita of around $14,054.62 USD. 

So the loss of 85 billion, will not really be noticed!  Except if it was from strategic areas in the economy.

Trump fires gun on trade war

World war within 20 years

Today and the most successful American Companies outsource the better compounds to Asian.  Introducing Tarrifs will hit company is like Apple very hard.

Vacuum the days of the 1920s!  Which lead on to the global depression of the 1930s.  Which lead on to the Second World War!

The difference today is a company is are multi national.  So try to impose tariffs on Asia, will bankrupt the successful American Companies of the 2020s.

Company is to be a very adept at had are dodging trade regulations.  Shipping high he tarrif goods with loads Tarrifs to the U.S.!

The United States has a population of 330 million.  China has a population of 1.4 billion.  And India is not far behind!  In those countries the company is have reverse engineed the technology of what used to termed the first world,

That all low economic income countries, are hosting B source for the first of all components.  Will head to was the same economic level.

Donald trump is focused on the rest the world ripping off American Technology.  That happened in the 1980s!  As I make you try to outsource its components to lower income of all countries.

Troub trying to impose Tarrifs today, will end of his the American corporations.  Clears the U.S. president not think it through?  Janet is now at the second largest economy on the world.

But with a population of 1.4 billion, the U.S.  Will soon become economically irrelevant.  If suppose he had tarrif of 26% Japan, a major trading partner is pretty silly.

As of March 29, 2025, Europe's population is estimated at around 744.6 million people, representing about 9.04% of the world's population and ranking as the third-largest continent in terms of population, after Asia and Africa. 



Which means said the U.S. or house the world's fourth the largest population.  And the of a trading books will happily trade between themselves, an American exports will crash.

I will sit back and watch the rest the world impose tariffs on the U.S..  Which is basically wrote up the GATT agreement, which resulted in the economic prosperity around the world after countries recovered from the devastation of the Second World War.

The depression of the 1930s leads inevitably to the Second World War.  The alchemy pressure of the 2030s will lead on to the third world.  Which will be over in 5 minutes, A steam issuing all life on earth.

        May 9th, Ytump signs trade deal with UK.

Trump starts trade war

 

Economics just got bloody

From the first from presidency, Donald trump should have noticed the terrace don't actually help the American economy.  The world economy shuts down the hatches, and America is first and foremost a trading nation.

Ironically enough Americas house out sourced its component manufacture.  To composite Vietnam who has just had 26 per cent tariffs imposed.

Ironically enough that will raise the cost of American Companies.  And America is very much not alone.  The major trading blocs are China and the EU.  Even Japan has also had A tarrifs rate of 26 per cent in pounds.  And Japan is a major trader with America.

The world there is a lot more interconnected than in the 1920s.  When the world realise it tarrifs were not a good idea.  The got the introduction of the GATT international treaty on tarrifs.

As sinking ago to wash and D. C. for three months this year, maybe save for a couple of years!  To the PH D work into immunology: academics get an automatic green card for a academic research.

But if we get a full trade war, money is going to get a lot tighter.  And my financial people mass is likely to grow at my request for foreign travel and study.

So trials tarrifs will hit American manufacturers.  And restricted global trade.  J wasTrumpelected on improving the U.S. economy, so increasing international trade.

How will the EU react?  With particular the Germans Europe misery technically advanced trading bloc.  China it tends to concentrate on low priced items.

Was over a year ago the Wall Street Journal ran an article, whereas in the U.S.  Or my regular trips, the turnout was innovating and DVD players.  Buzzing in a series link to the recorder software.

The rest the world four was a good idea and Covid the software.  So China it getting increasingly independent of American interference.  A truly massive trading bloc!  The latest data I forget the Chinese economy was that the population was at 1.411 billion (2023).

The American population is at 330,000,000.  So trials if those tarrifs I's first presidential term.  They definition of stupidity ears 'to repeat action, and expect different results for no reason'

Tarrifs had a negative effect on American economic performance.  And the first triumph presidency.  Today he the world is my interconnected.  The terrace for hit my care of Apple, a major supporter of trumps before the election.

The economic consequences from for absolutely huge!  Did Donald trump never think it through?  He is that the UK the terrace of 10%.  The same markets were expecting.

Your policy UK into have a stronger ties to the EU.  Which historically has never been a good thing!

Economists have warned that these tariffs could throw the UK's economy off course, complicating efforts for the government to meet its self-imposed borrowing rules. The added pressure of higher borrowing costs could slow economic growth and force the government to cut public spending or raise taxes to stay within its borrowing limits.

       12 April, still at war with China.

Russian economy in meltdown

Russia going down

Russia's Central Bank has refused to cut interest rates, in a snub to Vladimir Putin. Interest rates were hiked to 21% in October last year, in a bid to curb spiralling inflation.

This was the highest level since the early 2000s, and has sent shockwaves through the business community. Many companies are now struggling to pay back bank loans, as they fight to survive. Putin had urged bank officials to loosen their monetary policy prior to a meeting to review interest rates.

And you are not talking about a democracy!  For banks to go against Putin's wishes may have legal consequences for the bankers.  For a bank year to first is next on the block voluntarily, so they share a home by serious things are!

The EU is then is struggling to fake inflation to 2%..  As of March 21, 2025, Russia's annual inflation rate is 10.2%, with core inflation at 10.2%, and the Bank of Russia expects inflationary pressures to continue declining in the coming months.

Historically this is a significant differences in inflation rates in trading partners.  Historically economies need to get a handle on inflation, or it spirals out of control.

All banks have all adopted the same economic solution, to raise interest rates.  To suck in the capital for other incomes.  But Russia is feeling the consequences of international sanctions.

Which will stop the influx of the outside capital.  Putin's is a billionaire, but the amount of currency devaluation affecting Russia he will soon be only a multi millionaire.

The continuing cast of the Ukraine military action, he's killing the Russian economy.  Expect a sudden outbreak of peace!  So rare shaken get at the American Capital funds.  But the Ukrainian the war and has highlighted to the world, than the second largest military outfit in the world, has been held off by the 44th!

This is a most significant loss of prestige ever for Russia.

Russia heading into bankruptcy

Russia going down

The Russian Ministry of Finance has reported a budget deficit of 2.7 trillion roubles (24 billion pounds) for the first two months of 2025. This figure is more than double the amount planned for the entire year. The primary reasons for this are increased military spending and a decline in oil prices.

The world has been so focused on the illegality of Russia's military invasion of the Ukraine, they have not notice the Russian economy serving into the Christie stepped in history.

The Russian economy going to 14 trillion in the red by the end of the year.  And things are just going to get worse.  2000 I was working on nuclear fusion at Sheffield University, and we found the ultimate carbon zero heat Energy System.  The free plasma burn.

My American friend validated that 30x1.5cm steam plasma release a constant 1 MW of carbon zero heat.

1 H₂O+PL→2(E²+L(+X-ray)) the plasma burns the regular water molecules into massive heat the motor light and potentially lower power X rays.

We get of carbon zero heat without a fossil fuel burn and no involvement of radioactive materials.  No production of hyper toxic radioactive waste.  And the my friends plasma shut down somewhere around 300 million UK pounds annually.

And we don't use any fossil fuels of boiler room!  The plasma just burns regular water into massive carbon zero heat.

Which makes the over priced oil market look pretty silly.  For 2 thousand UK pounds we get a massive income.  Which means that the our price which is already crashing has nowhere to go but down down and down.  The our price is and $67.00 a barrel and falling.

The Russian economy mass of the defendant on oil and gas revenues.  Both in freefall.  What bank is going to land you 2.7 trillion roubles over the last two months.  With no prospect of getting that money back.

Putin is desperate to end the Ukrainian mis adventure.  Which is alleged to international sanctions.  Basically shutting down trade with pressure.

The steam plasma burns just 10⁻ⁱ⁶cc of regular water a year.  Animal and frankly too small even to measure!

Or oil and gas burning only releases 45 kW of heat.  As it produces the carbon dioxide to stimulate local plant growth.  Plans converts extra carbon dioxide into additional plant biomass within 5 minutes.

They can be no buildup of carbon dioxide in the global air!  Levels to double above the arctic ice In winter.  So carbon dioxide levels double.  As be experienced the lowest natural temperatures on earth.

Down to -80° C above the Antarctic ice pack.  And now any decent engineer Ken use a high voltage electronics from old fluorescent light, to fire up the plasma.  Which will self sustain with no more external current.

Produce all the 1 MW of carbon zero heat.  Week in use a small steam turbine to turn into ½ MW of mains linked voltage and frequency AC current.  Which he is the oil and gas prices are going to fall more.

A budget deficit of 2.7 trillion is a lot of money.  The global economy is estimated to be worth roughly $115 trillion.  It is 4.3% cent the total worth of the planet.  And things are just going to get worse!

So Russia is very much can not afford the Ukraine war.   Sorry the Rubbl weakens means the Russia debt is just 0.04% od world GDP.  Still a lot of money.

Donald Trump has threatened Russia with “devastating” penalties if Vladimir Putin doesn't agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine.

The US president said that if needed, “there are things you can do that wouldn’t be pleasant in a financial sense,” and would be “very bad for Russia”.

“We could do things very bad for Russia. Would be devastating for Russia. But I don’t want to do that because I want to see peace,” he said, speaking from the White House, as he appeared to threaten sanctions and other economic pressure.

Britain and America have urged Vladimir Putin to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine after Washington and Kyiv struck a deal towards ending the three-year war on Tuesday.

Russian economy in trouble

Russia going down 

Russian Inflation rates at 10%
.  The Russian central bank is charging 21% for economical loans.

Russia economy - BBC News

BBC

https://www.bbc.com › news › topics

Russia hikes rates to 15%, now 21% as inflation soars. The Bank of Russia raises rates more than expected to try to lower inflation and boost the rouble.

This makes the Latin American economy is in light 20 a century look economically sound.  A cost of the Ukraine war house and the Russian economy into free fall.

Any econom the globally uses three decent dinners from a revolution.  At the end of the Second World War liberated eastern European countries, and she preferred the Nazis' to the invading Russians.

And now we have the fourth biggest economy in the world heavily dependent on the money earned from selling fossil fuels.

2001 myself and the Dr. Z devie east massive carbon zero heat that pays money is.

1 H₂O+PL→2(E²+L+X-ray)

So my American contact confirmed that a 30x1.5 steam plasma the ready constant 1 MW of carbon zero heat.  As the plasma burns the regular water molecules into just heat light and lower power X rays.

A small steam turbine will turn their heat into ½ MW of three phase mains AC electricity.  Without any gas or oil burn and involving nor producing any hyper toxic radioactive materials.

So we get an annual income of or 45 million UK pounds a year, from burning two little water ever to measure in 1000 years.

So only the world is not interested in oil and gas.  The Financial System which ond affect the Russian economy has thus been kicked out of its paid for family.  And Russia is about to crash big time!

For 18 years happily navigating his version destroyer directly into an oncoming cliff.  He is owed to crash HIUS battleship of the Russian economy, total sink without trace into the ocean depths.

All because he chose to invade his neighbouring country of the Ukraine, for no chuffing reason.  An hour Donald trump is trying to get the Ukraine to seed land, to stop the worst military invasion in history.

Which is destroying the Russian army in a bid way.  For chuffing point.  It is wrong for Russia to gain from this military adventure.

Russia must withdraw all its troops from the Ukraine, and arranged a dietmar tries burn and to stop future Russian invasions.  Pay for the economic repairs, and financial retribution for all the resulting Ukrainian deaths.

10 million for every individual killed, the Russian family is should receive the same payment for each family member sacrifice for the Putin fully.

This is wrong for her shirt again economically from the worst military abuse since the Second World War.

The Russian economy is basically in financial freefall.  And may never recover.

Inflation killing Putin's Russia


Russian inflation 8.9%

The annual inflation rate in Russia rose to 8.9% in November 2024, up from a five-month low of 8.5% in the prior month and surpassing market forecasts of 8.7%.

The European desired inflation rate is just 2 %.  Labour has allowed inflation to creep upwards.

2.60%

UK Inflation Rate (I:UKIR)

UK Inflation Rate is at 2.60%, compared to 2.30% last month and 3.90% last year. This is lower than the long term average of 2.82%.

Fitting can only dream of such inflation rates.  The Ruble he is being hammered. 1 pound is worth 339749002.37072796 Ruble.  These are hyper inflation the values of the German currency in the great currency crash of the 1930s.  Three million Rubles to the pound.

And an inflation rate over three times as great.  It will be at four times, if labour got a handle over UK inflation.

Those sort of currency depreciations brought down the Mark, and heralded the creation the deutschmark.  Today even German inflation is above the EU declared aim.

As of January 6, 2025, Germany's inflation rate was 2.60%. This is higher than the long-term average of 2.01%. 

Despite Brexit UK inflation is near that of Germany.  And now the EU is not paying that 20 billion into the EU. 

Full EU accounts will be published as scheduled on 31 October 2019. In 2018 the UK's gross contribution to the EU amounted to £20.0 billion; however, this amount of money was never actually transferred to the EU. It is best thought of as a theoretical liability.30 Sept 2019

That high inflation rate within Russia is troubling.  It means that the Russian currency will continue its depreciation.  If I was Putin I would move or my own financial saving is over to Switzerland.  That is part of the EU single currency area.

With the EU inflation rate at 2.6 per cent.  The oligarchs in Russia will already have removed the savings across.  Hence the Russian economy is shrinking by the second.

Labour kills UK economy

Bankruptcy next

According to the UK government statistics in July UK economic growth was a 1%.  Below the had two per cent inflation rates.  So overall the economy shrank by 1%.  An economics teaches that there lies, damned lies and government statistics.

The UK government was elected on the basis that it would increase economic growth.  Just not true!  In September we have the same 1% economic growth.  Which accounts for no real 1% full in UK economic activity.

An Rachel Reeves for those are the great time to launch a tax grabbing budgets.  Economic teaches that a tax increase decreases the economy.  And the budget has yet to filter through.

As the labour steadfastly maintained, there'll be no tax rises.  The first budget we have a record breaking tax rises with a falling economy.  No way was labour going to increase economic activity.

Their real agenda is to try and undo Bexit.  But the EU would not want the UK.  It would say keir 25 year wait, before there could be another referendum on redefining the European Union.

Who surveyed did not want us.  We have the lowest economic performance accide or any country except Ireland, that is basically bankrupt, the year growth rate the infinitive at 1.2%.  The labour government elected with an economic growth proposal.

Which is turns out to totally false.  And they raise taxes.  A call electoral promise was no tax rises.  The Labour government are staggeringly under perrforming.  Next month the UK economy should be in negative territory.

After having talked up economic growth.  And then RE use tax is to ensure it did not happen!

China's economy in meltdown as property giant collapses in echoes of 2008 crash

Story by Clive Hammond •

China's economy was always very fragile.  Then things were going well, grew very rapidly!  To become the world's second biggest economy.  But he there is used for the good years and alienated the world.

Inflation on the rise again

Inflation rising

It is a common problem affecting the whole of the world!

The rate of inflation is expected to tick back up after months of slowing, in what could be a pivotal reading as the Bank of England considers whether to hike interest rates to the highest level since 2008 or pause them for the first time in 15 meetings.

It is really an massive problems in Russia, where the course of sanctions are bankrupting the Russian State.  But the inflation rate is seeping out into the rest of the world!

Economics only has one answer.  Make money more expensive!  Increase interest rates.  But the world has just given world economy is the biggest injection of cheap money over.

The introduction of the chest full payment system!  I am about to go off for my morning coffee, not paid four the cash for three months!  I used to work in IT, and I am very worried about the security of this digital currency.

I have just been sent my job andpin for my new VISA card.  Which aAll keep different!  Just another string of four digits remember.

Will the UK bank of England work.  Not evolve banks around the world are adopting higher interest rates.  The rush own inflation rate is eye popping.

Inflation rate in August 2023: (month over month, MOM) 0.28%

Inflation rate in August 2022, YTD: 10.39%

Inflation rate in 2022: 11.92%

Last 12 months inflation rate: (year over year, YOY)   5.13%

Last 60 months inflation rate (5 years): 38.53%

The sanctions are having an effect, just very slowly!  An inflation rate of 38 per cent over five years, is staggering.  That is 7% a year.

World economy is are tuned to have an inflation rate of around two per cent.

Basic Info. UK Inflation Rate is at 6.80%, compared to 7.90% last month and 10.10% last year. This is higher than the long term average of 2.80%.  The rush own an inflation rate is over term percent.  If the official figures are to be believed!

This inflation numbers are comparable with the Weiner Republic in Germany in the 1930s.

Which led to the rise of the Nazis.  And Putin is very scared by the rise of paramilitary outfits, Allied to arrive in politics!

Shows the UK he be scared of inflation?  The whole world is.  The aged to the money is over!  Rasher has the least popular president since two as if Stalin.  And the worst inflation rate since inter war Germany.

Russian economy sinking

Russia going down

The volume of the national debt in Russia has been increasing over the observed period. As of July 1, 2023, the national debt was close to 20.2 trillion Russian rubles, having increased by around 1.4 trillion Russian rubles over the past six months.7 Aug 2023

I just noticed that Germany is running a budget deficits.  Even though its constitution prohibits is from borrowing money!

2,814.8 USD bn

Key information about Germany National Government Debt

Germany National Government Debt reached 2,814.8 USD bn in Mar 2023, compared with 2,742.0 USD bn in the previous quarter. Germany National Government Debt data is updated quarterly, available from Mar 2000 to Mar 2023.

Then we get to Russia, where the Ukrainian war is pushing the Russian economy deeper and deeper into debt.  We global economy is are the world collectively are worth 138 trillion dollars.

So of physics has presided over most massive increase in rasher and get over.  An eye watering 1.4 trillion roubles.

And the Russian economy is heavily dependent on the price of oil and gas.  Which is why it is now a joined Opec!  Though Opec will demand a oil quota reduction.  Just as global oil prices are crashing!

The problem is that physics has realized a steam plasma is non nuclear, carbon zero free energy.  Nuclear power bills its power plants using a lot are reinforced concrete.  Where the cement is free used viral fossil fuel burn on limestone.

1 CaCO₃ + Ξ” → CaO + CO₂ so we add heat, an drive of carbon dioxide.  Making nuclear power.  This in two years of plant construction, the carbon equivalent of running a commercial power station for 25 years.

Uranium nuclear power is so not carbon zero!

That are steam plasma smashed use its massive together.  Firstly the hydrogen ions and electrons bond in to form neutrons.

2 H⁺+e₂→n⁰

Then the neutrons bond with the oxygen positive ions, cause repeated nuclear fission and till the flu just hydrogen positive ions and free electrons.

And big energy release is from the nuclear fission of hydrogen.  Into heat light and X rays!  So if a altogether, and the steam plasma is a non nuclear, carbon zero Energy System.

3 H₂O+PL→2(E²+L+X-ray) my American friend fired me up a 30x1.5cm steam plasma and got out a constant 1 MW of carbon zero heat!  From 10⁻ⁱ⁵cc of regular water a year!

We start off with a little 5 cc spring loaded water reservoir, this is still mostly for in three billion years time, as the swelling sun and 4 hours the planets in the inner solar system including earth.

So we produce no carbon dioxide!  Which stimulates plant growth, this converting into the carbohydrates of life within 5 minutes over the land and sea.  The virus static two parts per million carbon dioxide in the terrestrial air, since 1880 and mankind's industrial revolution.

Above the polar ice In winter we have had twice the carbon dioxide - four PPM.  And the most natural temperatures on earth.  Down to -80° C over the Antarctic ice cap.

Carbon dioxide very much not a warming gas!

In the Jurassic photosynthesis was less efficient, and left four PPM carbon dioxide in the temperate air.  There was 85% more active biological life on earth, and sea levels were 60 metres lower in a warm period.

But there were three natural ice ages, the carbon dioxide levels at eight PPM: measured by mineral analysis of deep earth starta.  Giving e.g. Sheffield university, the starta and so the earth's climate in prehistory.

So four times the trace of carbon dioxide.  In the west ice ages of history!  Whoever made up man made global warming was a serious geological and biological idiot.

Funded by nuclear power - he minus his fourth largest source of carbon emissions.  Nuclear power knees to do a carbon audit on themselves.

Are little 30cm steam plasma releases are non nuclear, carbon zero or 1 MW of continuous eight.  Fed into a little steam turbine we get ½ MW of carbon zero electricity.  1 MW if we use an aluminium alloy turbine.  Twice the efficiency!

So all prices are going to go on crashing!  It is 1930s engineering!  Within the RE minute of the garage scientist.  Who can easily drive a 65 kW thermo electric generator, and get all that lovely carbon zero electricity!

Which the national grid will pay 80,000 UK pounds for every year.  The carbon zero power for eight houses!  Driving my little steam turbine we may carbon zero electricity for 150 houses.

An annual income of 1.5 million UK pounds.  I have sent this to my local MP, the labour MP Rebecca long Bailey.  He we should get to the climate change person within labour.

So of physics herself climate change!  And given the world free electricity.  Which removes 80% of the Russian GDP.  And the Russian economy is already headed deeply into debt!

1.4 trillion roubles a year.  No people were me the money must be Opec.  Per seeing their income crash!  As he all prices keep on decreasing.  There is nobody else with the money to keep Russia solvent.

Cancer is to say Germany cannot borrow money!  They cannot run a budget deficit.  The major funder of the EU is going bankrupt.

Economics will win the war in the Ukraine

Rubble going down

Russia’s central bank to hold extraordinary meeting after rouble falls to 16-month low

Bank will discuss interest rate after high spending on war in Ukraine and drop in export revenues put further pressure on Russia’s economy

The Rusian rouble has fallen below the psychologically important 150 roubles to the dollar.  Issues no further worst for biochemistry in the world.  The Ukrainian war is causing there haemorrhaging of Russian money.

As Margaret Thatcher declared, you can't lie to the markets!  The oil restrictions are planet having any effect on the Russian economy.  What he is the war meant to acheive?

The USSR dead.  You can't invade the neighbouring countries, and try to rebuild it.

Russian inflation on the rise

Look out world

Is inflation rising in Russia?

While inflation is now falling almost everywhere in the West, it is rising in Russia. Officially, inflation in Russia is still well below its target rate. But last week the Russian Central Bank (RCB) raised the Bank Rate by a whole percentage point to 8.5%, in a sign of growing unease about price rises.4 days ago

Russia embarked on the recent innovation in the Ukraine.  This does seem 40% of its armored tanks destroyed!  70% other five to personnel have been killed.  The rest of the world is feeling a surge in inflation - which is horrendously painful!

Russia has embarked on an undemocratic and pointless war he can never win.  The rest the world is learning amounts to Ukraine.  As it pursues the war as pointless and and justified!

The Russian population tends to agree!  An interest rate of 8.5% strain and it suggests that the inflation rate is over 10%.  A year a year it was 11%.  This is Majerle and comfortable for a trading nation.

 

Core Inflation Rate in Russia averaged 8.21 percent from 2003 until 2023, reaching an all time high of 20.37 percent in April of 2022 and a record low of 1.80 ...

In the 1930s, Germany experience hyper inflation.  This situation only corrected to too much economic ions from U.S. Jewish Bankers.  It signaled the end of the Mark.  And gave the world the Deutschmark.

The Russian economy is truly huge - estimated at $2.063 trillion.  The whole world is only worth 138 trillion.

So the Russian oligarchs ice massive world economy going down the drain!  So the interest rate went up by a whole per cent!  In a month.  In two months we should have an interest rate of over 10 per cent.

By then the Russian inflation rate will be 15%.  Enjoy!

Death by Crypto

Money, so not real

We are looking puzzled about crypto curencies - acting as if they are real!  Monetary system themselves are like a ghost, riding on a phantom railway!

All is well, until the world suddenly realises things aren't right!  We get a run on the banks, and they can see collapse like the world experienced in the 1930s.

Bank run

Wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Bank_run

A bank run or run on the bank occurs when many clients withdraw their money from a bank, because they believe the bank may fail in the near future.


I am worried writing this up.  But the world does need to understand quite what crypto curencies are about.  The world now expects banks to V underwritten by the IMF or World Bank.  But they are supported by innovations from national governments.

Who playing the IMF Banknotes, that really only have value all people assume they do.  Now crypto curencies are based on banks securing the currency we've back nodes or gold ingots.

Gold is interesting, as the intermittent collapses and the value of gold.  If you drill down to magma chambers 34 metres below the land surface, you get to heat it pressurised water.

Which contains a limit concentration of gold metal!  When the water makes its own way out to the surface, they carry some the gold metal with it.  This is precipitate it hurts as the water rises and the pressure drops.

This is a source of all the gold people firm for at river sources.  Gold metal is actually the fourth most abundant element on earth.  Just mostly held in the earth's core!  A spinning full of molten metal.

We only know about gold, as the water applying air to surface Carries some gold metal with it.  So it is really not a scarce commodity!  We can drill down just 34 metres, and get our 50 tonnes of gold dust a year.  That is 300,000,000 UK pounds.  And till the world starts doing it geothermal mining.

And will C the biggest call collapse in history!  National currencies are secured on the national bank gold deposit.  And the year was desperate to stop constituent countries, giving gold reserves.

Base you make currency value depend on the surrounding European countries.  If the Euro by ever collapsed, year we thrust back into the dark ages!  France and Ireland, will be so bankrupt!

So the crypto currency is like the phantom riding on the back of a ghost, although non existent ghost train.  Eight number of pharmacy, backed up by national curencies, which are based on opinion not real value.

Economics can explain why curencies are real!  They are not.  They are matters of opinion.  And Germany has now thrown its policy and we are Spain and Italy.  The southern European countries used half frequent currency devaluations.

As the really do not like paying their taxes!  The bass rock curencies float on.  My friend had acemi to explain cryto curencies to the world.  But they are so not real.

Their are crypto booths spring up around the world, where you can convert cryto curencies into Banknotes: paying the booth for the privilege.

There is a massive deity money in the crypto.  The black economy has found it the ultimate money laundering exercise.  Always assuming cryto will appreciate in value.

Crypto is due for an almighty crash.  If we look at gold this as an active it happens a lot.  The radar appreciation in recent years, makes the cryto crash inevitable.

My friend was worried about adverts where traders asked for cryto only.  Imagine having a trolley full of groceries in your local supermarket.  You get to the cash till, and the Internet is down.

Many of us will remember life before the Internet's.  And I am used at the not infrequent crashes of the Internet.  What if their next crash never gets undone!

All your cryto cancer has vanished into the ether.  An 18th century idea for the spiritualist.  Although cryto value has gone.

And the supermarket does not accept Banknotes!  And you cannot use your chip and pin card.  You can no longer buy a food and drink!  All your savings have vanished into the ether.

The modern world is sussed!  Is there an answer?  If we are cellar goal crash, we are back to bartering!  Which makes failing a car with petrol impossible.

Will cryto be the death of us all?  I wait to see!  Please to get back to me on this subject to JonThm9@aol.com

Over the Internet obviously!
