The Chancellor will not get to grips with tackling food inflation and just deflects in her answer rather than addressing the point.
Food inflation is set to reach 9% by the end of this year - capping prices in supermarkets is not the answer. Bringing down the energy costs for farmers and producers is.
If you choose to create an industrial strategy - why exclude the food manufacturing sector(?!) which meant it didn’t get any help with energy prices recently. I thought food security was national security Chancellor?
As is standard with this Government, it’s arranging the flowers when the root is dead.
