That's possible, but it's not a very good argument. Inflation in the US was certainly exacerbated by massive government spending, just as Manchin specifically warned.
I will say the Torie government is really setting records for incompetence, I've never seen such an implosion in such a short time. I quite liked what I saw of Kemi Badenoch, but she was then removed from PM consideration early. Again, I'm not coming close to claiming I know everything there is to know about her, but I was impressed by what I did see.
