ended 27. March 2022

Interesting annual report emerging from the Office for National Statistics tomorrow entitled: Household disposable income and inequality, UK: financial year ending 2021. It's expected to reveal a continued trend of ‘disposable income inequality’ between the richest and poorest. Firstly, 5 News are looking for someone for whom 2021 was a challenging financial year, who has less disposable income now than they used to - to be filmed tomorrow. If that's you and you'd like to take part, let us know ASAP today by replying to this alert. Pleasure ensure you have your location (town/city will do) on your Newspage as they will need to know where you are. Also looking for your responses to the following questions, which we will issue to the media tomorrow when the report is published:

  • Was 2021 a challenge for you financially? If so, how?
  • Has your disposable income deteriorated or improved during 2022 to date?
  • Is the Government doing enough to solve income inequality? If not, what could it do?

As a small business on top of 2 years of losses to make up we also have over £50, 000 of bounce back loans to repay. Staff wanting a rise inflation going up. OK for our staff they were furloughed and got 80% of their pay as they could not go out and spend it they came out the other side OK. Small businesses though lost money and now have years of paying back loans to contend with.
