Chris Philp has told Sky News that gangs, criminal re-selling and drugs were largely to blame for the spike in thefts from shelves, which has been estimated to have cost businesses £1.76bn over 12 months.
The current amount of universal credit for a single person is about £80 a week. The average gas and electric is £168, water is what, £25? Council tax, phone/broadband (because you now need internet access for universal credit), you’re at around £250 just for bills. That leaves around £70 to live on for the month, for food, transport, clothes, anything else you need. It’s impossible to live on.

I think you’ve mixed weeks and months in your calculations. £80 a week, £320 a month. Bills at £250 in the month leaves £70 to live on for the month
I did mix the two in the end, yes, £70 a month. Will swap.
