It’s like these pedlars of capital can’t understand a ‘cost of living’ crisis.
I am using an iPhone 11, because it works, it doesn’t need upgrading, it costs me about £12/month, why would I spend £1000’s on a gadget with minimal functional difference?

It’s really rubbing me the wrong way that tech companies want to call it “hoarding” that some people aren’t buying new devices. Not acquiring more stuff is the opposite of hoarding.

This is how it works: after lobbying Richard Tice with a trip to the French Riviera (to discuss "gas power" without having any expertise in the industry), the wife of a former Putin minister now attacks Labour and Conservatives. You don't need Specsavers to see what is going on.

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.
