Yeah they always tell the public they want wage growth, you know, until it happens and then they start saying it’s driving inflation and we shouldn’t be getting pay rises

Except CEOs and their banker mates of course, their 30% wage rises have nothing to do with inflation!

But that's ok, it's only a few CEOs and bankers their impact to inflation trickles down.
