A self-inflicted wound: Americans now pay 75% more for aluminum than the rest of the world, and 64% more for steel.

Inflation? War? Supply chains? The excuses for rising costs constantly change - but the outcome never does. Big Oil doubles its profits, working families pay the price, and ordinary people get squeezed. Time to hold them accountable. #BigOil #CostOfLiving #Accountability #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.
Out in Kiltalown this morning about the outrageous attempt of the Council to hike Council, HAP, Homeless HAP and AHB rents. How can people afford a 25%+ increase in rent during a cost of living crisis? A people power movement can stop this. https://t.co/N5r5ibGZ15 #CostOfLivingCrisis #RentHike #PeoplePower #IE
Out in Allenton last night on a lovely evening talking about the Council's attempted rent increases. One couple I spoke to had their rent hiked by more than 30%.

The cost of living crisis is a food affordability crisis. In a country as rich as the U.S., around two thirds of people cite groceries as their biggest cost pressure. A vast majority (82%) believe the government has the power to lower prices. If politicians refuse to act in https://t.co/B9vZFKVLGD #CostOfLiving #FoodAffordability #GroceryPrices #US
Once again, reckless actions by world leaders in the Middle East risk pushing up energy prices, with ordinary people left to pay the price. Workers, families & small businesses cannot be left to face these rising costs alone. The British government has the finances & power to #EnergyCrisis #MiddleEast #CostOfLiving #GB #ME
Tonight the government will write into law its plan to increase the price of petrol and diesel. Once again, Sinn Féin was the only party to put forward an alternative that would have stopped these increases and protected people from being hit at the pumps.
