I do all the food shopping every week & I haven't got the foggiest idea what a pint of milk / loaf of bread costs #dontvoteforme #outoftouch
.@AnitaBellows12 Precisely. When on a low wage, I knew what e'thing cost. So why expect a man on £150k who doesn't do weekly shop to know?
-
-
@JuliaHB1 because he is a politician/representative, and bread has a symbolic value. -
@AnitaBellows12 I agree politicians need to know cost of living, but 1 item is silly. He should know cost of av weekly shop for family of 4. -
@JuliaHB1 Does he?

@JuliaHB1@AnitaBellows12 When I buy bread, I first try to get a loaf marked down, because it's near the sell by date.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@JuliaHB1@AnitaBellows12 If I can't get one marked down, I would expect to pay about 70P for a Hovis small loaf. Next?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@JuliaHB1@AnitaBellows12 Being out of touch with what the basic cost of living for people you are supposed to represent is a problem.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@JuliaHB1@AnitaBellows12 it's just a way of pushing the "out of touch" message. I'd rather they were in touch on big issues not shop prices -
@Charles90@JuliaHB1@AnitaBellows12 when the alternative is a food bank, knowing shop prices is a big issue for those at the top!
