remember every time they quote monetary values for shoplifted goods increasing, it’s inflation. the cost of the goods went up, the amount of shoplifting is pretty much stable.
but they get to make a big fuss about it being “on the rise” instead of dealing with inflation and cost of living issues. because Tories are allergic to doing anything.

Generous, wtf they’ve actively reduced the amount even before inflation and also reduced the amount disabled people can claim whilst also changing the rules to ensure fewer people meet the rules to be able to claim.
Don’t forget food banks were set up due to the above before inflation.
Fukn Tory scum has been attacking the welfare state for decades.
