In an article for The Sunday Telegraph, John Healey writes that ‘we will be watching closely for any suggestions that customers are being taken for a ride at the pump or the till’. If there’s any evidence of British shoppers being ripped off then he assures readers that ‘our regulators have the powers to clamp down on it’.

The truth is that supermarkets are a miraculous innovation whose praises are not sung enough
