Prices rocket at Wetherspoon's.

 

As a pensioner I've already been clobbered by Starmer's Labour government when they ended the winter fuel allowance.

The increase in the National Minimum Wage and National Insurance doesn't come into effect until April. But last night, I was in Wetherspoon's and the price of a pint of Abbot Ale had gone up by 11pence from £2.88 to £2.99 and a pint of cask beer by 15 pence from £2.63 to £2.78.

I had already been told by a Wetherspoon's manager that Rachel Reeves budget was likely to put 15 pence on a pint of beer. Reeves's budget is going to lead to massive price hikes in the shops, supermarkets, job losses, and more automation.
