Can everyone just stop consuming stuff + force prices down?

We don't need to constantly buy things + certainly not brand new items either.
UK inflation (CPI) rate has crept to 2.6%.

Govts respond by forcing impoverished people to hand wealth to banks, enriching bankers & their shareholders.

Real cause of inflation is profiteering.

Govts need curb profiteering, tax the rich as they have excessive cash.

UK inflation rate rises for second month in a row
Economists say the faster pace of price rises all but rules out an interest rate cut on Thursday.

David Sullivan has faced decades of allegations that he's raped + abused women + children. He's even admitted refusing to give women jobs unless they had sex with him.

So why's he allowed to fund his wife's children's home?

Especially when she has no experience of working with kids either.

Is anyone else resenting the fact that some fictional capitalist hero gets all the credit for wrapping loads of stuff up for their kids?! 🤷‍♀️

I've done the most Cornish thing I've ever done + bought some unstylish – but very warm – thermal clothes from the local surf shop, as I can't be arsed to drive to Devon to a store where you can actually try semi-fashionable clothes on. 🙌

A couple of weekends ago, we went on the Polar Express at South Devon Railway to meet Santa + his friends.

It was our priciest festive trip so far at around £50 a ticket, but it was definitely worth it, mostly due to the amazing attention to detail. 🚂🎅🎄

For a sensitively-written iNews feature, I’m keen to speak to people who feel that renovating a property with their partner took a big toll on their relationship. 🏡

This petition is set up for the safety of women.

Chief Constable Craig Guildford thinks it's acceptable to fight a case where it's already been proven that his male firearms officers have sexually assaulted a female colleague.

He needs to resign. 👇🏻

I’d love to hear from anyone with suggestions.

I desperately need to use this app more, so that I can spend less time searching for case-studies on the hell site. 😂

I don't know if it's private equity or expansion for the sake of expansion that led to the decline of these brands.

With further deregulation of finance, what next?

Excessive deregulation means that the UK is hurtling towards the next crash
Deregulation creates opportunities for bankers to take reckless risks with other people’s money, collect bonuses and destabilise economies.

🚨 Billionaire West Ham owner David Sullivan’s been accused of sexual assault multiple times.

His wife owns a children’s home that was bankrolled by him.

She took a child from the care home to their home – raising HUGE concerns about the safety + well-being of vulnerable kids.

My first #journorequest! Please do get in touch if you can help with this one - it's for a lovely, positive piece in a women's weekly magazine!

🧵 Trigger Warning – There’s some very distressing Guernsey news + I feel it's important to share.

If you're affected, know you're not alone + now might be the time to speak up.

This retro Speak + Spell is my child's – surprise – favourite new toy.

I was expecting her to be outraged at such an educational birthday gift, so I'm rather pleased. 🥳

One of my New Year’s resolutions for 2025 is to learn to love living in Cornwall or at least make the most of it.

It’s no secret that I haven’t really enjoyed living here in the last few years, but now I feel in a better position to change that.
