Well, in order to fend off inflation, the thirty-quid broccoli-pickers would have to pick it three times as fast! :-) ...And have we got the appetite for three times as many helpings of that boring veg... But seriously, we've bumped along the bottom for many years apropos of productivity in this country. I want to know how the Tories intend to raise productivity in order to justify his dream of a high-wage economy. Otherwise, higher wages means higher prices, companies unable to pay them going out of business, inflation, more people pitched into poverty, more food banks... So what's the plan? Eh??

Ridley Road is superb. I'm not one of those who binge-watches on iPlayer. One week at a time!
