She can't get in it due to the backlog of fishos and eggos or whatever it is that monster consumes.
I also think that too often the personal story, which can be great as a case study or hook in the media trumps overall statistics. Politicians and policymakers should care about the trends in poverty/affordability/employment/health data without having a personal story to connect to it.
Honestly, I hate it when those in charge only start to care about (I am just picking a randon example here) waiting lists in hospitals when their favourite aunty sufffered from it. You should have cared about it already if waiting lists in hospitals are a thing you have an influence on.

Personal experience of the issues you deal with in your role (whatever that is) does NOT mean you will be automatically better than a colleague who has not had those experiences. It is not a guarantee.
Doing BIG IMPORTANT work right this moment actually.
(Choosing a clip-art picture of a poor person for her front page and selecting size 14 font with double space to beef out the shopping list, sorry I mean index)
I think sometimes in order to do the job you do need to have some emotional detachment. Doesn't make you any less empathetic.
Nah, the economics editor at the FT is just quietly, gently pitching to the big boss a non payment of tax article featuring a smol pixie and a large bill
This. She really thinks she’s Dustin Hoffman. It’s this all over again.

Doesn't really say much for the Chinese takeaways in Southend
Not Susie Mate as well. We're like the last human survivors in a zombie film.
Can someone PLEASE explain to her how supermarkets decide what to stock and where?
IF IT DOESNT SELL WHY WOULD THEY STOCK IT? Are you THICK?

Smart Price is TWO WORDS.
By the same coin, I want to know why Thorpe Bay ASDA doesn't stock foie gras because I can afford it and I live there (I don't.) Why isn't every supermarket selling every single thing at every single price point?
Lucky old me... I'm in possession of a tin of Scarlet Pimpernel (Asda)smart price peaches, and a jar of the Invisible Man (Sainsburys) marmalade formerly known as the basics range.
Might leave them unopened and keep them as heirlooms.

Jack chose all the items that she knew were out of stock didn't she? So very very clever!
Get them on eBay, postage £45.
Do you think I should tweet Jack and let her know that you can still get cheap biscuits from Tesco?
thankyou for clarifying H
