Doesn’t matter who people vote for
All elected officials are owned and controlled by the richest people and all corporations
And most including both Sunak and Starmer by a certain foreign settler entity created by the West in the Middle East.
This is clearlymisinformation. They are definitely a different part of the same coin but one side is definitely more evil which is the Tories. This is the same party that were having parties during covid lockdowns and caused austerity when we should have been levelling up
Politicians are for the Rich
...and themselves.
ok
I do everything according to price.....so does everyone else.
If enjoyment was my number one concern, I wouldnt be working 60 hours a week.
Well said!

I'm unemployed with € 350 unemployment benefits... I am the master of survival. I have a good life.
Olive oil prices used to £3.25 Now is £8 .
For 500 ml.

I was in shock when I saw the price difference.
Tell me about it!
I bought a 750mL bottle for only 5, because it was on the wrong spot in the shelf (original price was 12)
25kg chipping potato's 18quid were 6quid during covid
I work full time I have a support dog for my anxiety but there are most days I go without food or very little food because I rather my dog not go hungry it’s been really hard I’m in tears most days when I find my bills or rent is going up im so exhausted and tired I wish this suffering would end 😢
Consider using a food bank
Plus the dog can help keep them warm if they can't afford heat
They look better off than I am and I work horrible ungodly hours. I am not against them, I am against the ruling class.
So Do Something
Down with the ruling class
@@malcolmmitchell6529 what can anyone do? serious question. there is never going to be an uprising, never ever
@@malcolmmitchell6529 British people are too comfortable for a revolution.
If England constantly changes their leader ? How much that cost ? Moving them in and out of Downing Street ,changing decor and furniture is defiantly not cheap . It may be a small cost but the burden is still put on the people.
Blaming part of inflation on "Russia invading Ukraine" Why not say because our leaders chose to stop buying cheap Russian oil and gas.
Yep and provoke Russia too!
I don't use oil and gas. I have a pellet boiler.
Food prices wont come down ever, the private companies are now charging more for goods that go to the wholesaler, that go to the private companies that go to the consumer, we have ruined our market in terms of that are GBP is officially worth less.
The couple have a car, a house, a pedigree dog and go to football matches. They also probably receive a lot in benefits. They are living beyond their means courtesy of the state.
😂😂
Nice car, mobility vehicle?
boo hoo
What is the welfare state for if not to support families like this where one person cannot work for health reasons? What is the point of living in an advanced civilised society if we don’t allow people a basic standard of living regardless of their means? What’s it all for?
totally agree... their energy bill is £240pm!! wow... We pay £80pm for 4 people as well,.
I agree, I'm on potatos, noodles and beans. I work full time
Work harder - reform uk policy 😂
Sounds good to me
Same like me feeling like an robot 🤖 😌
Yum!
I don't know if that's was joke or not
‘To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all’ - Oscar Wilde
They should turn the U.K into a giant food forest. They have a temperate climate and could grow food all year round. The Russians grow a huge percentage of their own food in a worse climate
I live in The Netherlands and have visited UK twice. It was really strange to see so much grass and no agriculture.
Besides that, in The Netherlands farmers have to leave because of the so called environmental/climate problems. In fact the plant are to make The Netherlands the capitol of Europe. Its insane.
@@yelenayeli9529it's because the monarchy owns everything. They re slaves. Its awful.😢
Me too..... I eat ordinary steak, not Wagyu or Kobe beef..... and don't have an iPad, football club membership, pedigree dog, two cars.... I need to get a GoFundMe page started😢
I wish well for them but they aren't the right people to pick for this interview.
10s of thousands of families are way worse off than them in the UK.

I wish people could STOP judging Sir Keir Starmer on his personality, look at Boris Johnson, Donald Trump, Thatcher, Tony Blair. Look how their Leadership ended.
Starmer is NOT a CLOWN or a Reality TV personality- WE NEED SERIOUS people to Govern this Country. NOT A SHOWMAN!!!
What’s a women ?
Same in Canada. My grocery habits changed DRAMATICALLY. She said it. I also cannot shop with enjoyment in mind. The price will guide what I am gonna eat during the week. 100% of the time I only buy meat, cheese when they're on sale. I frantically look all over the store for discounted/close to expire items to have access to items I could indulge before without spending simply TOO MUCH. I am an avid flyer reader now. Also, there was a DEEP, DEEP cut on amounts as well. Stocking food? Not possible anymore.
I have a budget of 300 a month for food. I've had that for 4 years. I eat a lot less today than i did 4 years ago.
How many is that for?
i have budget $62 dollars in america for food a week i work 60 hours week the fed rised interest rate after low interest rates in 3 years i had sell my house 3 years to pay off i am 50 pretty much done after covid i have no will to work anymore
People eat according to
1.Price/money
2. Enjoyment
...health is for some not even relevant
Reducing or giving up Alcohol makes a huge difference to your finance.
During lockdown, people realises this and saved massively as they couldnt visit pubs or bars
All the supermarkets meet up with the department of food & fisheries. They price fix. The government are culpable and involved in this.
I have always had to eat according to price not enjoyment. The only reason I’m such a good cook is because I’ve never been able to afford to go out to restaurants. Apparently tho it is only newsworthy now that it is impacting middle income people. We can ignore the poor and low income people tho for 14 years.
People in the UK need to be more assertive when it comes to politics. Being passive and complaining won't change things. We are being walked all over by rich politicians who are out of touch with everyday struggles of the people. Things are and living is expensive. The cost of living crisis doesn't affect the politicians. It affects us the people. Wake up and act people.
Politicians are not out of touch, they choose to ignore.
Imagine living in Derbyshire. Horrendous.
.........and having to support Chesterfield............
One of the nicest county's in the country.
A car & a house are a given.
But a pedigree dog & football matches are not needs.
Should they give the dog up? Drop him off at a shelter?
@@scottwales9178exactly! They are keeping their dog and not giving it up like so many other families have done. The dog rescue centres are full
Hubby does not look underfed
😂😂😂😂, different standard of poverty from normal mate 😊
Looks like he needs to focus on quality over quality!
"Judge not, that ye be not judged."
Educate yourself on the reasons for the connection between poverty and obesity.
@detritiv0re144 does poverty cause obesity, or does obesity cause poverty?
I have not changed my food habits as I don’t do anything else now apart from buy birthday presents. I am also prone to illness because I already grew up with food insecurity, so resorting to carbs and biscuits again will be the last step before homelessness.
Same in Australia.
Struggling financially with a house, car, dog, food, water......first world problems
Your point?

"I think they have to live like us to understand it" Exactly.
QUESTION: Does Paul WORK?
Paul may be "registered disabled", but does Paul's mind function properly? How is Paul's initiative?
There are jobs that can be done over the phone, on the computer, at home ... on and on.
And his wife. She “supports her husband” - yet he’s mobile.
We voted for Brexit this is what we get, now we should shut up and deal with it by voting out the party that brought us this pain. It's really that simple.
Or vote reform if your a half wit and want more of the same.
reform?
Tell us, how did Brexit push up inflation, costs and interest rates in the 27 EU countries, USA/Canada, Japan, Australia and just about every other developed country?
Bot.
Isn't it good that people eat according to reason not according to enjoyment. Eating for enjoyment means becoming extremely fat. And also scientists say that temporary hunger is very beneficial for health. So we should implement hunger in our diet as a main food.
Its nòt just buying the food its the price to cook it too! Worse time to be alive in last 40 years
exactly and at this time cant afford to shelter or food for a lot of people 😢
Number 10 trained Lukashenko's soldiers for 5 years. That was their priority. Training "putin" soldiers.
Sarah just needs to learn to cook better, even cheap meals can taste nice. I work and I’ve always batch cooked/ bought based on price.
Seasoning prices have gone up bro
And net zero is pushing up food costs.
And brexit. Who knew that racism was expensive lol
When inflation figures went down reporter asked why food prices hasn't come down and this minister answered " that's not how it works "- absolute cricket from everyone and what else we have to argue?
you'd need negative inflation for prices to come down, no one wants that, it won't happen. Inflation coming down just means prices aren't rising as fast as they were.
Is UK not efficient enough in Agriculture leading to expensive food prices or is it manufacturing/Services not efficient enough that forced people to spend their food money on other stuff for survival?
keep voting in the same old parties and getting the same old results. politicians are there to feather their own nest....fk everyone else.
what's the percentage of poeple living like this?
158% of 30% of Brits who were polled said they thought that 98% of their neighbours lived like this while only 10% of those polled admitted to not having anything to whinge about on a Sly news comedy piece. The other 67% didn't give a sht either way.
And yet they can afford to keep a dog and go to the football, couldn’t make this up.
I feel lucky that it relaxed a bit in Germany, I mean rent, heating and electricity went up, but not as bad as in England, and it has remained stable for a year now, electricity even went down a little. For comparison, we pay 120€/month for gas/heating and 55€/month for electricity in a 3 bedroom flat with 3 people. It used to be 85€ and 35€ so the change is there, but it's manageable. In the UK it's simply madness
As people go out less because of the cost of living they will tax people for staying at home. Staying at home Tax.
I've always done everything according to price and don't complain. I just adjust accordingly.
Brexit needs paying for, I wish people would stop whinging about it.
It’s not really about Brexit… inflation is happening everywhere and it is a lot worse in some EU countries.
Covid government borrowing and the US printing trillions of dollars to pay for it really hasn’t helped the situation. When the de facto global reserve currency is essentially devalued everyone feels the pain.
I mean, nice cars, nice house, enjoying going to football, reading emails on your iPad and nice smartphones. 🤷🏻♂️
Ikr! I dont have any this crap and I can live really well while being unemployed. I live frugally and am not a walking atm for the system that is why. These people spent too much when they could.
How can takeaway now be cheaper than buying food from supermarket, makes no sense. My local takeout cost me 2.99 , not much can be brought at a convenience than that price.
Chinese takeaway is expensive, cost about £20 just for two meals nowadays, rip off
Just remember who did this. Never forget never forgive.
I only ate Wagyu because it tastes so good, but the price has gone up from 400g for £4.99 to 227g for £7! Now I have to eat other beef which taste very different.🤢
Try Korean Hanwoo, it's like Wagyu but meatier.
£500 energy what are they heating?
In Russia I pay 23 GBP per month for central heating per 71sq meters apartment. Total utilities bill is 100gbp including electricity. And now who's a developed country and who's the emerging one
The programme wasn't about Russia....
@@englishdecorator I know
Surely she can do part time? He doesn't look bed bound or need 24/7 ft care...
It’s ok Labour will fix everything 😂
More benefits please...
Exactly, the British state is so stingy compared to European countries.
Very true
I think politicians do understand but don’t care
And yet there's a take away every 10 feet in every town and village throughout the country.
Not everyone is struggling to the extreme 🤷♀️
For working class people there has never been anything BUT a cost of living crisis. But instead of whining we just get on with it.
There is no such thing in 2024 as "the working class"
Billionaires got richer while the rest of us got poorer
Perhaps they should reach out to a food pantry or church where they offer free food baskets
it's the ripple of US AND CHINA economic war. Without economic war, everyone used to live in peace
Potatoes in Aldi gone from £1.15 to £1.35 in a few months. For a big bag.
No one told them to invest in gold and stocks when they were younger. Nobody.
Don’t worry Labour will fix all these issues 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I really hope they do fix it
@@PraveenSrJ01 me too but more chance of snow in august. Politicians work for themselves
😂 I just comeback from living in Canada and New Zealand for 7 years and it's cheap here 😂
Speak for yourself, I just pop into my local foodbank and get my essentials and spend my own money on the good stuff.
Get realistic no one can slove this mess!!!
They have a car, house, dog, go to football matches and they are struggling, is it any wonder. If they can afford to buy that how are they struggling?
Are poor people not allowed dogs? Probably the only thing keeping them going.
@@MackerelCat Dogs, cost money.
I don't feel sorry for this family
Omgggg she batch cooks instead of fine dining every night, what's the world coming to :( :(

What cost of living crisis? Just look at the ticket prices at Glastonbury and how many young people were there. Then the football , how can they afford air fares tickets, hotels, drink.

She could look for work.
They seem to be driving a nice new or nearly new car!!! Apple laptop on the fridge. She reads her bill on an expensive i-pad, they all go the football match and have their own football tops and they own a dog. Bagged soil in the garden for all the plants they buy. Then they say they are struggling to buy food. Give me a break.
Terrible state of affairs. I no longer can put the heating on in the garage to keep the cars warm 😂

Food prices are coming down. Go into any store and compare your receipts to receipts from 6-9 months ago. I’ve noticed it now for 2 months in a row.
Nice try. I’m still not voting Tory……….Ever
Olive oil? now about £8 used to be £4
Ya prices are going down as is the quantity.
I live in a 3rd world country and 1 hour of my work is equivalent to 4kgs of chicken. I can't believe I'll ever be in a position where I'll live a better life than many in the UK staying here.
