Re: Tuesday 7th March 2017
Bad news, this. I've noticed the higher prices. Mr citizen and I are looking for a new wholesale bulk-buying club. It's worth buying food and household supplies in bulk, when possible. It's essential people get high-quality food. It's worth it. People stay healthy and in good condition. I try buying foods grown close-by and in season though it doesn't always work out. Time is precious and what's on the local shelf is sometimes all we'll get.PorFavor wrote:I've notice that grocery prices have gone up a great deal. It's not even single figure pennies at a time. It's 20p here, 50p there and so on. I know I'm a bit of a Luddite but, since barcoding for prices, I don't think people notice as much as they once did. Formerly, I'd get something out of the cupboard and see the price on the sticky label. And then see the new price on the replacement.adam wrote:Food inflation doubles in a month as UK shoppers start to feel the pinchAnd this core goods inflation always hits the poorest hardest.Supermarket inflation doubled last month as shoppers had to pay more for staples such as butter and tea, underlining expectations that household budgets will come under extra pressure in 2017.
Grocery inflation jumped to a near three-year high of 1.4% in the 12 weeks to 26 February, from 0.7% in the 12 weeks to 29 January, according to the consumer consultancy Kantar Worldpanel. The cost of fruit and vegetables – a large proportion of which are imported – also rose.

The outrageous double-standards and irrationality bother me a lot. How do we succeed under these conditions?Willow904 wrote:The point about David Cameron and tax transparency was that he oversaw the reduction in tax for the top rate. At a time of austerity and we all being supposedly "in it together". If it were revealed he and his front bench were all to be beneficiaries it could have been damaging. Although, to be frank, it's regularly been shown that many Tory frontbenchers are landlords of expensive London properties that have benefited hugely from government efforts to artificially prop up the housing market and that hasn't stopped people voting for the selfish bastards, so it's sometimes difficult to see what will.
Especially when Ed Miliband was regularly attacked for living in an expensive London home, even though he was willing to introduce a mansion tax which would have been against his own personal best interests. Go figure.

John Monks would probably confirm the quote as genuine or not. He's one of the Labour Brexit rebels in the Lords. Went on to EFTU after the TUC. Might be a bit past it now, but Labour could have used him much better before.

Peers in the House of Lords have voted down calls for a second referendum on the terms of the final Brexit deal by an overwhelming majority.
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/po ... 16136.htmlLabour's leader in the Lords, Baroness Smith of Basildon, said her party could not support the amendment and would abstain in the vote. She said there had been “no significant public demand for a second referendum” and no significant shift in public opinion about leaving the EU.

Re: Tuesday 7th March 2017
Don't see this really.Lord Hill, the Conservative former European commissioner, tells Hogg than anything that complicates the Brexit negotiation will not help.
And he says that having a third party, like parliament, involved in a negotiation might help if the third party is pushing for a tougher solution. That could help the government get what it wants. But in this case, if parliament has the final say, EU leaders will see it as pushing for a softer solution, and so that would undermine the government’s position.
I think May could say "look, you want this off your back? I've got to get this through Parliament. Give me a bit more".

Leaked tape of Surrey's council tax government 'deal'
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-surrey-39198308
The BBC has obtained a leaked recording of a council leader saying he struck a deal with the government before scrapping a 15% council tax hike.
The Prime Minister has repeatedly denied Surrey has been given what Labour calls "a sweetheart deal".
But on the recording, Councillor David Hodge said he had written government assurances and recordings of talks.
Mr Hodge said "every leader... will always have these conversations to try and get a better deal".
The government has been approached for a comment.

Peers have voted by 366 votes to 268 votes, a majority of 98, for parliament to have to agree outcome of Brexit talks - even if there is no deal.
The ambush might be on in the Commons.
This is better by Labour. And by Corbyn, I need to be fair about that. He'd have OKed it.

While Stephen Hawking ponders on human aggression:Kerry Moscogiuri, Amnesty International UK’s campaigns director, told The Independent: “If accurate, these figures are deeply worrying, and they bear out our initial concerns that divisive political campaigning last summer gave licence to the expression of discriminatory views in a way we haven’t seen for decades.

Now, however, technology has advanced at such a pace that this aggression may destroy us all by nuclear or biological war. We need to control this inherited instinct by our logic and reason.
