Interesting to see cost of living one of voters' top priorities but it doesn't seem like that's coming through in commitments from the main parties as yet - here's hoping for some concrete proposals in the manifestos when they come.

Royal Mail has missed delivery targets in every single postcode area in 6 out of the last 8 quarters. Yet amid that failure, a book of eight 1st class stamps will cost 10 quid from next month.
