Naturally, Labour’s cost-of-living tsar, Richard Walker, has been front and centre during the early weeks of this crisis. Much like an actual tsar, the executive chair of Iceland (the supermarket chain, not the country) is a multimillionaire, inherited much of his immense wealth from the family dynasty and enjoys a position of significant political influence despite never having been elected. Nevertheless, Walker has been using his platform to argue that “government needs to listen to business more”, while also warning that the energy price cap proposed by Green party leader Zack Polanski “could lead to disastrous consequences, such as rationing”. So let’s not accuse him of shirking the hard choices.
