So they are still in the slightly like the basket case organisational stage that's going to count against them.

Fresh-faced John Swinney, the current and former First Minister, what does he want to do to chickens?

Reduce their cost.

I thought it was give them the vote in a referendum.

16-year-olds and chickens.

How does he want to make them cheaper, specifically?

He does.

He wants a series of essential items to be capped in price.

I'm just going to be crude here and say,

It doesn't make sense.

He doesn't have the power to do... He's not a commissary, he doesn't do price controls.

In any case, the supermarkets work on very thin margins.

You can't have corner shops now being mandated, so they would be excluded.

It's sad that we've given up on growth and wage growth, particularly.

There's very strong wage compression at the bottom end between minimum wage, which is now about 22,000, 23,000, and then there's a huge chunk of the economy that's just all around there, and then very few people in the higher bands.

So instead of making it so that people are getting higher wages per hour, let's try and find ways to give them money, which is things like the energy price cap.

It's become very popular, but

But it is.

Cheap chicken.
