Shop sales slow as people rein in spending

  1. No shit, cost of living is rising whilst wages are effectively falling. When there is no extra money to be spent People simply won’t spend it.

  2. I think it is maybe possibly kinda quite likely perhaps to do with the fucking energy and fuel price hikes.

  3. Looking forward to the post-COVID recession that comes immediately after spending 100 billion to avoid a recession during COVID

  4. This is where things get truly worrying as it can become and self fueling cycle where people spend less, meaning businesses have less income, meaning they reduce their workforce, meaning people habe less moneu, meaning people spend less, and so on and so on. Has happened multiple times in history.

  5. We will then be blamed for the recession and for shops seeing record low profits, as if the government does not know full well why this is happening. We cannot spend money we do not have and people are going to tighten their belt like never before. With further price rises expected in October, this winter is going to look especially bleak.

  6. No shit. Have you seen your local towns lately? Ghost towns more like it. They say “never trust a Tory”, but I trust a Tory – to wreck the economy. I’m being unfair: a small amount of people are doing really well.

  7. Wow I love living in a recession that could of easily been avoidable, what exactly was the tory plan? They love money but are too stupid to see how gutting a country and forcing millions into poverty would effect the economy
