I feel like you’re giving her the answers here. Please stop making good points until after she’s written her homework!

It's not about food prices. We have some of the cheapest prices in Europe. It's housing costs and years of less than inflation pay (and benefit rises). God I want to tweet that, but it would either be like spitting in the wind or cause a pile on.
This is what make me so angry about this whole thing. I found myself checking Tesco's website last night and pretty much everything she listed IS STILL THE SAME PRICE! Which is a good thing no? Big supermarkets are keeping the prices of many staples low even though there is huge inflation - they are not the baddies here.

Energy and housing costs, and low wages are the killer for most low income people I would guess. Guess she doesn't want to draw attention to housing costs though in case someone asks how hard it is for her to pay her rent and she has to admit she lives in a huge, beautiful property that she pays for with money she hasn't earned.

God she makes me so angry.

It’s a 35 minute walk yomp to Lidl and a 25 minute walk to Asda. She can also get the bus to both.

I often wonder if everyone paid their taxes would we even need food banks?

I’m late to this and this has been said but I am honestly just utterly bewildered that no one has thought to fact check. Five minutes on Google is all you need on this…LJC. I try not to get cross with good intentioned people but really.

I wonder why she deleted it? Maybe it looks a bit frivolous when today is all about Poverty.
And that rag rug in the kitchen is such a shit idea. So many opportunities to trip on its grimy folds when carrying pots of hot things.

That was my first thought, the website tin rattle and now this bullshit Twitter thread have just earned her holiday money . Thing is, most of the idiot squigs won't even question it when she goes away!

I'm sorry, but that's the kitchen of a mad person. What's with the squat stool in the middle?! Why add another trip hazard
The door won't even open with all the shit on the back... And she's added fairy lights with the wire actually trailing UNDER THE WASHING MACHINE. Oh god the grease and smells... This is my final straw
