I had hoped my note was obvious, but here's more info:

1st: anyone can manipulate stats and that Jamie Jenkins chart seems to be manipulated

2nd: I don't agree with the 24/7 politican arguments that 1) Russian natural gas prices are the main reason for all other high prices, especially when big energy and big services companies are making 10s of billions in profits while price gouging, and 2) when the UK is much worse off than other countries for inflation and the recession due to Brexit

3rd: I can quickly find graphs here, here, and here that show a slight rise in natural gas prices that is dwarfed by the rises in prices after 24 February

4th: my point is that the invasion made matters worse (whilst countries see higher gas prices, while they send munitions and money to Ukraine, while they take in Ukrainian refugees, while they pay higher food prices because &c)

5th: Tiny uncorroborated tweets are not reliable as news resources
