Wonder if Asda will ban the pair of uncaring scrooges

They could stop raising their prices week on week!

Suppose you were an idiot and suppose you were a member of the government. But I repeat myself.

Agreed!! Also you should ban supermarkets!! Shop small and local!!!

Well considering all this will have to be paid back at some point with the tax payer picking up the tab, these fat cats need to be paying this back before topping up their profits & bonuses.

indian giver this bojo

Or give it back to their staff,Supermarket staff have largely been ignored during covid,they have worked throughout covid, very little protection,angry customers,very little social distancing enforced by major supermarkets,no restriction on numbers during second wave.

Don’t put it on the supermarkets put it on the MP’s. Absolute shitshow of a government.

MPs should not give stuff away if they actually want it given back
