I actually feel a bit better. She’s massively overpromising this. No way will she do it.

I think this is another part that infuriates me.
YES, BEDROOM FURNITURE. Do you want people to sleep on the floor? Do people in real poverty not deserve beds, Jack? Should new mothers who've just had a baby fling it in the sink to sleep in overnight? How about when those children get older and need beds of their own? Should young adults who just moved out all sleep on a third-hand flat futon in an empty room, slowly giving themselves backpain?
Or should they get it once, and never replace their mattress? As someone who had theirs 8 years and recently replaced it, 90% of my joint pain went when I was no longer sleeping on a mattress where all the springs dug into my ribs. Does it not matter if those skyrocket in price because you can't put it in a slowcooker and blend it into 11p portions fit for the nutritional requirements of a toddler (if that)?
And then fling their clothes on the floor? Poor people don't get a wardrobe? I suppose people who have a job where they need ironed clothes to look put together should just use their floor space to lay everything flat so it never wrinkles, or just throw it all in a pile of amorphous shades of dyed-grey.
People NEED FURNITURE. Furniture is EXPENSIVE. It getting inordinately more expensive is incredibly important to track - they're necessary goods to have in life! Maybe buying 17 sideboards makes you forget that some people can't afford the basics. Which are named that for a reason.
Sorry, rant over, but that really pissed me off.
If the big four and the discounters thought she was in any way changing shopping habits and therefore pricing they’d be out there. Not one - don’t know if they’ve even been asked. I suspect it’s a case of let the fire fizzle out.
