Has anyone else noticed a sudden hike in basic food prices?

So Hodge was part of council destroying a Jewish cemetery whilst Corbyn was part of a successful campaign to save the graveyard.
Consistently on side of Jewish community isnโt JC. Not sure what to say about Hodge, only when itโs popular & people are watching then?
This is an interesting portion. Jeremy Corbyn was part of a largely Jewish campaign to stop the destruction of a graveyard, which was a proposal of the council led by - Margaret Hodge.
"The true test of a man's character is what he does when no one is watching.โ
Let that sink in.
The DAILY allowance for HOUSE OF LORDS is MORE than is deemed livable expense for a single adult on universal credit.
How do they need that much free cash for a day to sit and sleep in a stuffy room when a person should be able live off less for a month?

Thatโs sick shit. Some1 disabled shouldnโt be unable to partake in protests without threat of reporting for what though I donโt know. I know Iโd need to take a couple of carers with me to attend one so nothing would be any different to normal.
Why are disabled being singled out?
Greater Manchester Police has admitted that it has a written agreement to share information about disabled people and other activists who take part in protests with the DWP. And yet we're supposed to be scared of communism under

I know some donโt like Corbyn, you know I I love the guy for our next PM. The ban of fracking promise alone should be enough for every single person to vote him in come the next GE
Actions too prove his words- no stealing as he makes sure the mug gets returned
Love this guy and this is so true. Corbyn does speak with passion. Imagine how much of that he would put into running the country. Can not wait until he is pm.

I completely agree. School uniforms have become a super expensive purchase
Bring back generic black skirts, supermarket white shirts and generic jumpers that can have school logo badge sewn onto and bin the blazers
We need to do the same in Tameside. School uniform is so expensive because of the logos. A logo doesn't make a child work harder etc they just cause worry for the parents.
We used to be able to buy iron on logos and they've even stopped producing them.

There I was chuffed to see a company rewarding its staff with a share of the profit only to discover most wonโt get it.
Can greggs sort out something so this doesnโt happen?
Just asked my Greggs inside informant if everyone is chuffed about their ~ยฃ300 bonus?
"Not really. Most of us are on Universal Credit. We'll get the bonus end of Jan & it will be taken out of our UC payments in March. They've basically just handed ยฃ7m back to the govt."

My husband passed away suddenly in March. 56 years old. I am 42, we have 10 year old twins. My CTC was stopped automatically, 5 days after he died, due to the "change in circumstances". I was told to apply for UC, which would take up to 5 weeks.
Wow a daily mail reader, bbc watcher. Does she not realise we are in this situation now under the Tories? The money is already in off shore accounts siphoned away, why do you think they wanted to leave the EU so as not to declare it! Fat cat businesses tax dodging under Tory rule
If you think youโre worried about Brexit... A Corbyn government would see over 10 trillion pounds leave the country overnight. No money for public services. Wealth creators fleeing. The most serious threat to the UK since 1939.
