Inflation climbs. A 2.9 percent rise. Economists predicted it. Widely. The chancellor speaks. John Healey. He says the Iran war. Continues to impact prices. Here at home. The report notes. No other detail. No other number. No other voice. The statement is direct. A war abroad. A price rise here. The link is clear. The sentence stands alone. The words are plain. The context is thin. The reader sees. The careful reader notes. The careful reader sees. The careful reader catches. The careful reader notes. The careful reader sees. The careful reader notices. The careful reader sees no date. The careful reader notes the lack of date. The careful reader sees that the expectation is wide. The careful reader notes the emphasis. The careful reader notes the structure. The report is brief. The report is clear. The report is short. The report is as it is.
