Rishi Sunak says inflation is a tax. That's true. What he doesn't say is that a major cause of inflation is the government spending spree to fund lockdowns which he was also responsible for as Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Looking at this image, it appears likely that many of these strikers have been imported from abroad, and now refuse to work, caring for British patients, without more money.

"Since Russia’s invasion last February, the UK has committed £4.6 billion in military assistance to Ukraine – £2.3 billion in 2022 and the same again for 2023. (And billions more on the hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians brought to the UK - TBG)
Ben Wallace has revealed that he asked Rishi Sunak to spend £2.3 billion more on military support for Ukraine before departing as defence secretary. Another £2.3 billion would be a 50 per cent increase on how much the UK has committed so far, but no decision on next year’s spending has yet been announced. On Sunday, Joe Biden, the US president, moved to persuade Republican allies of Donald Trump to stop blocking more aid to Ukraine in a sign of splits in the West."

No foreign power should have sovereignty over decisions made by elected governments in the UK. The UK is a 'dualist' state, which means that foreign laws or treaties have to be enacted in our Parliament. This requires a specific legal change in our Parliament (so - the Human Rights Act to enact ECHR). The 1951 Refugee Convention was not even enacted into UK law until 1993 with the Asylum and Immigration Appeals Act. It took 42 years. Neither the ECHR nor the UN have any powers over Britain they have no way of enforcing these treaties. Only threats from the USA over the Dublin Agreement connection have scared British Conservative politicians from acting. Yet the USA is a signatory to neither, though it is to the 1967 Protocol that was added to the original Convention. Therefore you don't even have to formally revoke these treaties. Just change the acts in Parliament where they apply.
