“The woman’s request for a loan to help feed her baby was something he had “never seen before”, he added.”
And he did ……….. what?
Probably shouldn’t have a baby if you’re a bit skint.
Just googled, can get cow and gate formula for 10.50, pretty sure it hasn’t gone up 45% in 2 years.Maybe the most expensive brand has. Also, formula costs around the same as it does to feed a ravenous toddler, so if they’re struggling now it won’t get much easier.
Edit: changed 25% to 45% as per article (typo)
Jesus Christ, the state of the comments in here. This country is hopeless if you people represent the majority. “Shouldn’t have had it if you can’t afford it”. It’s a fucking human being. That needs fed. It exists already. Find some fucking empathy.
Crazy idea, just stay with me for a moment…we tax the wealthy (not high earners, the actual wealthy), to bring down inequality, so we can go back to the days of being able to afford to actually feed everyone. Mad I know.
Call me cynical but sounds like a scam or some sort.
Baby formula can be expensive (£6-14 per tub), but 1 tub lasts you 2-3 weeks. You get £90~ from child benefits & if you’re unemployed (but UC), full time/part time, just buy 3 tubs once you’ve been paid and you’re set for 1-2 months lol
If you’re struggling to buy baby formula, you shouldn’t have kids and somehow, you’re putting yourself over your babies health…
