Rising energy prices in Britain have seen some poorer citizens turn down potatoes offered at food banks as they cannot afford to boil them, the head of Iceland Foods Ltd supermarket chain has claimed.

In an interview with the BBC Radio 4 Today program on Wednesday, Richard Walker said the “cost of living crisis is the single most important domestic issue we are facing as a country.” He cited reports from some food banks that users are “declining products such as potatoes and other root veg because they can’t afford to boil them.”

Walker said food price inflation was “pushing 10%” – an estimate remarkably higher than the 5.1% annual figure provided by the Office for National Statistics. The supermarket chain boss pointed out that price hikes have been particularly evident when it comes to items such as milk, whose production involves several stages, with the cost of every part of the process rising.

He concluded that high food prices were here to stay and that it could be argued that, systematically, “Food has been too cheap for too long.” He said the pressure on chains was “relentless and coming at us from all angles” as they tried to keep prices down.

Explaining the ballooning costs, he blamed rising oil prices, worker shortages, and the falling supply of Russian fertilizers and Ukrainian sunflower oil over the past month.

Walker suggested that the UK government could implement measures to take the heat off retailers. He urged that the energy price cap on households could be extended to businesses, which he said would translate into some £100m in savings on consumers. He also called on authorities to postpone the introduction of the planned increase in national insurance, as well as some new environmental taxes.

Following Russia’s military offensive against Ukraine, which began on February 24, gas and oil prices – a large proportion of which is being supplied to Europe from Russia – have shot up dramatically, resulting in higher energy bills both for individuals and businesses across Europe.

Hahahhaha..but some head slammers said the world is becoming electrical and that our oil will be useless soon

kayuseful:
If only Nigeria oil could come to the rescue
If only pmb could do something to be a major diesel supplier at this dying moment of his administration, he would have redeemed his name for ever

_{But unfortunately, you can't give what you don't have}

The guy is a fool otherwise he should be travelling negotiating oil deals.

I thought desiel is gotten from crude oil, there fore countries that have crude oil should have an abundance of diesel, what is happening in nigeria

Nigeria has crude not diesel. Cracking the crude to get diesel is the big issue. Are you strange in Nigeria?

Russia planned everything years ahead, last year despite the pandemic they increased production of oil and gas, bought more golds. Years from now we'll find out the alleged founder of Bitcoin "Satoshi Nakamoto" was a pseudonym for some Russian guy.

We are withnessing the end of petrodollar and how reliant the EU are on everyone.

Hmm...This is an interesting theory.

62 years down the line, all we do is TAM of our refineries without getting any meaningful result. So sad that we can't produce what we need. Rather, we depend heavily on importation of what God has blessed us with.

CUMIN:



Russia is energy and food independent. The only thing they will suffer is trade. But their citizens will be sufficient enough to eat

Offcourse they won't die of hunger bt they will be I the stone age economically while eating the little they can produce internally.

By the time Putin is done with the world every country would be calming down already.

CoronaVirusPro:


NATO is presently meeting in Brussel and knocking out Europe's energy dependence on Russia is on the table.

Energy is not a scarce resource. Just a little investment with right allied and its done. Venezuela, Nigeria, Canada, United States, Kuwait, Qatar, Iran, Oman are viable destinations to source energy from.

no be money u go take ship am.from.vezuela to europe

And could ir be at the same amount the Russian is supplying

Maybe u haven't read this
