I bought a Starbucks coffee this morning and was surprised to get it half price. @RishiSunak kindly used £1.45 of taxpayers money to give me a discount I wasn’t expecting and didn’t need.
There are nearly 1,000 Starbucks in the UK each, I guess, selling about 200 coffees a day. That’s 200,000 coffees at £1.45 each so £290K discount per day... let’s call that £2M per week.
Remember that number: Two million pounds per week on coffees for people who were probably going to buy a coffee anyway and who probably weren’t expecting to get it cheap.
Like me.
