£3,375 a month on takeaway food

Someone on benefits has to live for year on around £1,800 food bill (£5 a day) - For non housing elements its around £10.75/day to buy everything. Boris and his wife are going through the annual spend is just over 2 weeks.

Still I am sure Tony's Tuscany Villa didn't come cheap.

I would guess the average CEO (MD) of a large organisation is on £5m a year now - £100k a week.

We have footballers in this country on around £12.5m/year - £250k/week

Inequality in income and wealth is rising has been since the 1970s at quite a fast rate.

We used to think society was more equal than say the Victorian era - I would say its now more unequal than the Victorian period. There is the NHS and there are some basic welfare services now, but this hides relative poverty. At the other end very wealthy people tend to hide their wealth than in the past.

This pandemic has stripped bare what's important. We don't pay people correctly.

I believe there is room for a centre left (could be labour if they catch the zeitgeist) to sweep into power if only they can mobilise this army of disenfranchised people.

Sadly, the disenfranchised masses seem, to me, to be enamoured with Alex's character.

This is they key, in my extended family I know of a few people in this 'precariat'.

These people are available and I feel welcome to move back, just need the right message/leader

Burnham might have the common touch but is unavailable. I don't see anyone else within the frontline Labour Party.

My nephew on my wife's side thinks the same. So he has helped set up a new party. They have a candidate standing for the first time at an upcoming by-election.
