The cost of food has risen by 37% in five years.

Meanwhile, Tesco’s operating profit jumped from £1.8bn in 2021 to £3.1bn in 2024/25, an increase of 72%.

Call it what it really is - GREEDFLATION.

Even after the mansion tax is applied, the owner of a £5m home in Westminster will pay proportionately less in property tax than the owner of a £210k Band B property in Sunderland.

Why is there no growth, Kemi?

A budget can't fix this.

Colour me astonished that £400k/pa BBC lifer Laura Kuenssberg feels more comfortable siding with the low-taxed wealthy and media barons rather than the 450k children Labour pledged to lift out of poverty this week. #bbclaurak

Laura pushing a “you’re all the same” “can’t be trusted” argument to Rachel Reeves.

I don’t agree with #bbclaurak. The “all the same” argument is dangerous for democracy.

Of course it does help #ReformUK 🤦‍♂️

I maybe wouldn't claim to be the biggest fan of Rachel Reeves, but to be fair, she showed admirable patience with Laura Kuenssberg as she wrecked a potentially interesting interview in the name of chasing a gotcha

The Media in The UK need to grow the fuck up

I just had to double check Piers Morgan and his outrage at a politician lying. Morgan still denies the phone hacking scandal. Only in the U.K., also America would someone like this be tolerated #bbclaurak

Absolutely disgusting biased and partial interview by @bbclaurak.bsky.social not listening, just repeating the same thing over again despite Rachel answering this at the start. I’m not a fan of Rachel but this is awful. #BBCLauraK

Disgusting that #BBCLauraK repeatedly saying Reeves put taxes on working people up knowing damn well people think that means income tax, NI or VAT not mansion tax and freezing thresholds. There's a colossal difference in how Labour/Tories are treated by the media and I don't think people see it.

#BBCLauraK This programme has stretched neutrality to the limit before , but that witch Kuensberg and the ludicrous fool Morgan have made a complete mockery of political debate .

The art of political interviewing is about creating chemistry, like Walden and Frost. An air of respect alongside challenge which brings out the best in both. Kuenssberg has the charm of a sixth form Chinese burn, and so we get a joyless, empty shouting match. #bbclaurak

I’m not a Labour voter but can you imagine how much less damage the Conservatives would’ve done to the country if journalists like Laura Kuenssberg had been as aggressive with their questioning of them as she is with Rachel Reeves today?

#bbclaurak #trevorphillips I am so sick of the Sunday morning political programmes. I actually wanted to hear more about the budget + what impact it would have on the country. But both programmes are just trying to get a gotcha moment with Rachel Reeves. It is so boring listening to these questions!

Laura Kuenssberg is an absolute fucker for asking a question, and then just talking over the guest if she starts getting an answer she doesn't want to hear

This Rachel Reeves interview being a classic example of that
