Thank you Exactly So the headline is 2% plus but food is 7%. My point exactly We are talking about the overall inflation rate, not just food. If food is above the average figure quoted, then other things must be below the average figure. Why don't you mention them for balance? Do the maths. In a household monthly budget, which items figure most predominantly. Food is a major cost along with housing costs. Mortgage costs have risen substantially as have rents. That is why to the average family a cut government ordained price cap is meaningless as they couldn't afford that anyway. It was the cut in that price cap that drove down headline inflation.

I heard Starmer on radio 4 this morning he was very poor 'umm umm' to every question,after years of knocking the government he is being asked about what HE would do and he isnt finding it so easy, just keeps saying 'we need change'...yes but a change for the better and thats not you Starmer.
Interesting to hear so many ordinary people being asked their opinion and replying 'theyre all the same,i dont want to vote for any of them' seems to be a choice of whos the least **** rather than who is the best....

I’ve only just caught up on a lot of what’s been going on election wise I’ll always be thankful to nige farage for pushing brexit as without him & our Boris Im sure brexit wouldn’t of happened , but I have to say I’ve lost a lot of respect for him picking the yanks over us , I’m sure I’ve missed a fair bit of the story but what little I’ve read he seems to have put £££££ first ( I may of missed his other reasons ) Nothing I’ve read has changed me from voting reform , tories saying theyl do something about immigration yet net migration at 650,000 + , labour with a open border policy & we will build / build / build homes , apparently us in the midlands are going to have loads of new towns according to Angela rayner , she obviously won’t be living in the concrete jungle we will have to , I read a piece the other day where they say there is at least 85 million in a country designed for 50 million Anyway I need to spend time sorting out pensions / savings / house so labour can’t get there grubby hans on any of it ( apparently loads are withdrawing pensions already ) Seatbelt on from 6 th July !!

Starmer banging the working class man crap again , if he cared about the working man him and his party wouldn’t of tried every underhand tactic to stop us leaving the eu , and fom & the floods of cheap Labour from the eu causing suppression of working class people’s wages What’s happened to the unions in all this ? They were always against migration as it suspressed there members wages !! , not a bloody word !! Listen to Ben habib the other week , said immigration suppressed wages , Plenty might be taken in by starmer & im one of you , working class , but I won’t be taken in by the champagne commie

Still its good to know that the multi millionaire Sir Keir has suffered in his life...his parents forgot to pay their phone bill and they had their phone line cut off !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder why Sunak called the election earlier than most of us thought it would be ? Maybe they know that the US economy isnt looking good and that interest rates here wouldnt go down as many are hoping for ? Cynical thought but maybe the Tories dont want to win and to make sure they dont Sunak comes up with his loony national service idea....

Leaked video tape of Angie Rayner pleading to the Muslim community in her constituency for their vote. George Galloway planning to get her ousted. Can't stand Galloway but boy would I laugh if Rayner lost her seat.

They’ve already said there comming for labour over there stance over Palestine , prospective mp candidate for I believe ladywood in Birmingham has said labour are finished in Birmingham - midlands , think he’s getting way ahead of himself on the midlands , inner city areas maybe , but can’t see the whole midlands voting against labour over Palestine , to be honest I’m struggling to know anyone who’s bothered about Palestine , and I live in the midlands As for rayner , good riddance to bad rubbish .

Everyone should be concerned about what is going on in Palestine, it would be sub human not to be moved by that horror.

Of course it's all tragic,but Hamas are happy with it.All part of their strategy.

Everyone should be concerned about what is going on in Palestine, it would be sub human not to be moved by that horror. I saw the picture of that abducted semi - dressed young girl being drove through the streets of Gaza on the back of that scooter while Palestinians celebrated on on the streets , not 1 /2 , hundreds , the terrified look on her face will live with me forever The old lady being drove through the streets on what looked like a golf cart while again hundreds of Palestinians celebrated Neither of these 2 people have you ever shown any compassion for ?? Whilst those nnocent sailors were having rockets fired at them your only concern was the Yemeni terroists who were firing the rockets being bombed Not one bit of concern about the American servicemen who were killed by rockets fired by Iranian / Yemeni terroists from you ? Where’s your condemnation of the rockets that were fired by hamas at the weekend ? So no I’m not bothered about Palestinians, not one of them stepped forward to help that terrified girl , they celebrated, imagine celebrating when a terrified young girl is dragged through the street in front of you , but but the poor Palestinians If they want my compassion they should of stepped forward and helped that young girl , they didn’t , they celebrated So no not bothered about Palestinians I always wonder what happened to that young girl , I probably don’t want to know , she’s Israeli so I doubt you’d give her a second thought .

It's a pity that the tens of thousands who march every week, the students camped outside their universities etc seem to have conveniently forgotten the events of October 7th. I don't hear any of them demanding the release of the hostages. They seem to forget the actions of Israel are in defending their own country and citizens, they seem to forget Hamas started this war, that they use their own citizens as human shields and their ultimate aim is to wipe Israel off the map and kill every jew. Do you not think this is a more legitimate war than the one Blair took us into, yet he got off scott free.

She does come across as being a bit thick. Notice that she is only talking to men! Probably because they are the ones who will fill-in the postal votes for their wives.

Yep,the women will be hidden away,as per normal.Muslim women,like Muslim men,terrified to go against what their local illiterate b'stard of an Iman preaches. A madness that has no place in the UK.Well,if we had'nt of made the great British mistake in allowing them in. Islam has the UK 'trotting'.When it clicks its tongue we trot.Very dangerous.
