This is strongly suggestive of corporate #profiteering - confirming other studies that have revealed the duopoly's willingness to exploit an inflationary period by jacking up prices beyond the implications of any supply disruptions.
Yet the #InvisibleHandOfTheMarket * in its infinite and ineffable wisdom gave the Coles share price a spanking at this news, apparently for not profiteering hard enough.
*as always, wherever you see/hear the phrase #TheMarket it is necessary to translate this into "the desires and priorities of very wealthy people", who own the vast majority of corporate shares.

And my husband and I have considered it.
Italy🇮🇹 is out of the question (fascism, including a hatred for LGBTQ :newpride: :anqueer_flag: people). France 🇫🇷 (my family's country) has its problems.
I don't think there's a place to go.
All the countries are fucked up now. Either turning far right, having economic problems and more than likely, both.
There's no safe home.

Inside my flat in #London at 2.40pm on Saturday: a “normal” #climatebreakdown afternoon: so dark it is impossible to see without lights. I cannot bear to think about the impact on #energy consumption and #costofliving if we can’t even use #Summer to slow burning #fossilfuels (yes, because HALF of #Britain’s #electricity is generated by #gas) https://www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2022/sep/electricity-prices-dictated-gas-producers-who-provide-less-half-uk-electricity#:~:text=6%20September%202022,costs%2084%25%20of%20the%20time. #BritishSummer

Should he roll back ULEZ in #Tory constituencies and only charge #Labour councils? Or should he roll back any #climate policy because it upsets the #Tories? An alternative could be of course that Keir himself offers a clear #funding strategy to bridge the #costofliving gap to better #publictransport & #EV, but why take responsibility when you can throw someone else under the red bus? https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/jul/21/starmer-urges-khan-to-reflect-on-ulez-rules-after-uxbridge-defeat #byelection
