The phone graphic is surely to resemble a weather forecast app.

There's another thing I didn't really see Sunak et al pulled up on much. Trying to take credit for reducing inflation (one of the dubious targets) but not taking responsibility for increasing it and blaming external factors. Yet the main lever for attempting to control inflation is interest rates, which are of course totally out of the hands of the Govt . So what levers did they really have as Govt and why didn't they pull them way back before it rose? Either they have them and use them (effectively or not) or they don't .
