  2. Price increases not just in your country. It is global. I live in Canada the price increase in food is also difficult to cope with. this is not a government problem. It’s a world problem and blaming one side of a government over another. We’re all doing the best we can just as all governments are doing the best they can so get over yourself and stop blaming your opposing side you couldn’t do better. We also just come through a pandemic. We’re all of the world has suffered financially because of it it’s going to take time to come back no matter who’s in charge!

  3. The whole argument about what costs are like in the shops is rubbish, it's because of lockdown!! Labour were advocating for even stricter lockdowns!!! Honestly the whole world is buggered

  5. He is trying to say he wants to be back in the EU just remember if we didn't of came out then we would have been in EU law and we would not have had the quer for a year later and that's life prices go up please remember that was under labour law back in the day with labour who made us bankrupt and if someone says it was only 16 years ago I'm sorry but it is not the first time that they bankrupted this country and when they did they hid it until it was to late

  6. Today I spent £9 on some chicken breast fillets, a pack of gluten free biscuits and x2 red peppers. Ridiculous

  9. I am not voting conservative, rishi sunak hasn't got a clue what ordinary people are going through, 18 billion he has he don't care, "

  12. I remember when labour lost the election and the Tory’s took over ,labour left a note in Downing Street to say that all the money was gone ,they are useless

  14. Politicians are the biggest thieves in the world money for nothing all they do is claim for second homes claim expenses to get to and from work and fall asleep in parliament
