I love this from Michael Marmot:
“I’m not an optimist, I’m *hopeful*.
If you’re an optimist you predict it will turn out well: so you fold your arms, & wait.
If you’re hopeful, you understand it *can* turn out well: so you have to roll up your sleeves, & act.”

📈 Despite falling overall inflation the latest @ONS data shows food and non-alcoholic beverages inflation has risen to 1.8%.
High food prices are still negatively impacting families across the UK, with people being priced out of the healthy diet they deserve.
