Show Notes
Princes, a major food company, has imposed a minimum 5% price increase on its products due to escalating costs from the Iran war, particularly the Strait of Hormuz closure. This has led to soaring raw material and shipping expenses, affecting the entire supply chain. Brits are grappling with rising prices for essentials like diesel, petrol, Easter eggs, and chocolate, with energy bills potentially surging by £288 annually. The government is reaping an £8 billion windfall from fuel taxes and energy profits but is reluctant to cut fuel duty. Experts warn of a potential recession and job losses, emphasizing the need for de-escalation as costs continue to rise.
