The SNP's newest recruit Lara Bird set tongues wagging almost as much as her head as she was sworn into parliament this week & she has plenty to say about it! #parody
There is only one basis on which the country should accept another change of PM: a commitment to honour the 2019 Manifesto.
If the candidates wonโt give it, we must demand a #GeneralElectionNow.
4/4
Minimum wage in 2005 was ยฃ5.05 an hour.
A Freddo cost 10p.
One hour of work bought you 50 Freddos.
In 2026, minimum wage is ยฃ12.71 and a Freddo is 39p.
One hour of work now buys you just 32 Freddos.
So despite minimum wage more than doubling, your Freddo buying power has fallen by 36%.
If wages had actually kept pace with Freddo inflation, minimum wage would be ยฃ19.65 an hour today.
Forget economists. Forget politicians.
The Freddo has just delivered the most depressing cost of living graph you'll ever see.
