You can't just borrow money from the markets or raise taxes, shove it at some people and fix that problem.
You've got to do all the things that governments need to do to get economic growth going, basically.
So on the one hand, I don't think we should expect this to be a huge deal.
Obviously, for some families, it will help.
It sort of reminded me of...
You know, when like supermarkets do these discounting posters and, you know, some great golf.
Well, yeah.
Yeah.
Some cut price strawberries and some Jersey Royals and some free, you know, extra toilet roll.
It's a bit like every little helps kind of feel to it, I think.
But that shouldn't be that shouldn't be read as me saying.
And therefore, the government should have done something huge because I don't think that was necessarily the right the right.
Well, big picture, yes.
I mean, tariffs basically are taxes, just differently labelled taxes.
And if you put lots of tariffs on things you're bringing into the country, you can make them more expensive.
So, yes, in principle, we should think taxes, tariffs are levers you can adjust to change prices.
The question is, are this particular set of measures going to be noticeable?
My guess is probably not, because in the grand scheme of things, tweaking tariffs on nuts and chocolate biscuits, I think it's a good thing in a sense.
But I don't think it's going to be hugely noticeable on your food bill.
And of course, the background is that we expect food prices to be going up across the summer more broadly because of things like increases in fertilizer prices.
