it’s pretty difficult to target just kids for junk food though, unless you think that kids are doing the majority of the weekly shopping/cooking/ordering?

My understanding is that pester power is real and that kids often do have a big influences on their parent’s shopping decisions based around what they have seen and heard.

One of the problems with food in the UK is that the prevailing Northern European belief is that food should be cheap and price has always been the main priority. Most people lie about this on surveys (called the attitude/behaviour gap) claiming it’s less important. Quality, provenance etc often comes as an afterthought for the majority.

When you go to southern Europe that dynamic flips, suddenly quality and provenance is most important and people would happily travel miles and pay €5 for a single tomato if it was a really, really good tomato. In the UK it’d be “rip off Britain €5 tomato shocker”

You can go to Wholefoods and pay £5 for a tomato. But it will still be a shit tomato. So yes, it is a rip off

The press won’t need to delve that deep on Burnham, he’s got a minefield of incompetence regarding the rape scandals.

Again, and I cannot stress this enough, Labour have learned nothing from when parts of the party stitched up Corbyn, and are coin-flip odds from being politically worthless.

Imagine getting a large majority, and then wasting it on infighting between party factions - absolute gobshitery that will have the press skewering them.

Again.

The Greens could campaign on "you don't need to drive an EV to vote for us, you just need to agree that things could be better", dial back some of the more out there rhetoric about nuclear armament etc and I reckon they'd take a large proportion of the labour vote at a GE.
