Apparently the reason people are struggling financially in the UK is because they have subscriptions and buy the occasional coffee.
Not because rent has doubled.
Not because food prices have gone through the roof.
Not because bills keep increasing every year.
No.
It's the £3.50 latte and subscriptions right?
I could stop buying coffee tomorrow.
I could cancel every subscription I own.
I could never order a takeaway again.
And I'd still be almost out of money 2 weeks after payday.
The problem isn't the coffee and subscriptions. It's the fact the cost of living isn't keeping up with wages.
Buffy The Vampire star Anthony Head dies aged 72 just six months after tragically losing partner
A statement from his daughters, actresses Emily and Daisy Head, said: “It is with heavy hearts that we announce the death of our extraordinary father, Anthony Head.
“He passed away peacefully of complications due to pneumonia, surrounded by his family.
“It has been, and forever will be, an honour and a privilege to be his daughters, and to have witnessed first-hand the impact both he and his work have had on so many.
“We know how dearly he will be missed by friends, colleagues and fans of the shows he was in – he loved his job very much and he always considered himself incredibly lucky to have been able to work alongside such exceptionally talented people, in such wonderful productions, across a career that spanned several decades.
“Our grief is far greater than the hole he has left behind but we know his legacy will live on in the shows he was a part of and in the audiences that love them.
“How lucky we are to know we are able to watch him doing what he loved, even when he is no longer with us.
Last week the UK was 30 degrees.
Roads were melting.
Everyone was sunburnt.
Gingers were catching fire on the street.
This week the country's underwater.
The roads are rivers.
My house is flooding.
And I've just seen Noah float by in his fucking Ark.
There is no way this is the same country.
@ThatDamn_Chris I got hit on about six times in Nagoya.
One woman would not leave me alone…
Woman : massage…. No!
Woman: boom boom… No!
Woman: why not ? Hey I am cute…
Me: no your not 😂😂😂 ( she was not cute)
I quickly jumped into a taxi
Millions of people in the UK are working full time, doing everything they're supposed to do, and still struggling every month.
Rent takes half your wage.
Bills take the rest.
Food shopping costs more every week.
Then you're expected to save for a house, build an emergency fund, and somehow enjoy life as well. Save what exactly? There's literally nothing left.
People aren't asking to be rich.
They're asking for a full time job to provide a basic standard of living again.

Minimum wage in the UK should be £19.65 an hour and here's the proof.
In 2005 minimum wage was £5.05 and a Freddo cost 10p. That meant one hour of work got you 50 Freddos.
Fast forward to 2026, minimum wage is £12.71 and a Freddo is 39p. Now one hour of work gets you about 32 of them.
That's roughly a 152% rise in pay... but a 290% rise in frog-shaped chocolate bars.
If wages had actually kept up with the price of Freddos, minimum wage would be closer to £19.65 an hour.
The economy's in bits and yes, I'm measuring it in chocolate frogs. But it says something. Because this isn't really about Freddo's, it's about the fact that you can work full time and still feel like you're going backwards, because everything around you is rising faster than your pay.
We're honestly done at this point and something needs to change.
