Minimum wage in 2005 was £5.05 and a Freddo was 10p. Meaning that one hour of work got you 50 Freddos.
Fast forward to 2025, minimum wage is £12.21 and a Freddo is 35p. Now one hour of work will only get you 34 of them.
That's a 142% rise in pay but a 250% rise in frog shaped chocolate bars.
If wages had kept up with the price Freddos, the minimum wage would be £17.50 an hour.
The economy’s in shambles and yes I’m measuring it in chocolate frogs. But this post is about more than that. Too many people are working full time and struggling to survive because absolutely everything is increasing faster than wages.
Something needs to change.

The #GeneralElection2024 is tomorrow.
It's also my first time voting in a general election - after becoming British (at the council in Huntingdon) 4 years ago.
I could have never imagined when I moved to the UK 12 years ago that I'll be a citizen, a councillor and now the Labour parliamentary candidate in Huntingdon.
There have been so many people during my journey in politics who have supported me - I am in politics because I want to use my lived experience as well as my experiences in work and local government to create opportunities for others - especially those who have not been as lucky as I have been.
This campaign has only been possible due to hundreds of hours of volunteer time, from the leaflet bundling after midnight after days of work and council meetings, to the weekend canvassing across towns and villages, to the daily social media videos showing some of the realities of the campaign.
Whatever the result tomorrow, I will be forever grateful to all those who supported me during this amazing journey.
Change is possible in Huntingdon if you vote for it. Polls are open from 7am - 10pm.

I’m simply horrified to see @NHSEngland now literally breaking the law in how it misrepresents physician associates & other allied health professional - who are NOT doctors - to the public.

Akshata Murty is worth £27bn and went to all that trouble to avoid £20m tax. Thats the same as having £27,000 in the bank and dodging paying 20 quid. The greed is mind boggling.

We are currently learning about online safety in PSHE and today we discussed sharing things online. My class chose to share a photo of our dolphin & I would really appreciate as much interaction with this post as possible to show how quickly and how far online posts can spread😌

Tory party MPs you can say no covid rules were broken as much as you like, no one believes you until you come up with actual facts. #OneRuleForThem #NeverVoteConservative #ToryLies
Officers have shut down a wedding where 40 people were in attendance.
Holding large gatherings could be the difference between life and death for someone else.
#London is in Tier 3. You must not mix inside with anyone, who is not in your household or support bubble.

Don't let @MattHancock claim the missing person with the Brazil variant was found because of the £32 billion Serco Test and Trace system because it's a lie.
They called NHS 111 & identified themselves.
Thankfully they knew the test was positive so had been self isolating.
