Small families may think that they spend a lot of money of food every week, but imagine if you had to budget for a super-sized brood?
A new documentary is delving into the lives of some of Britain s biggest families - including a couple with 11 children who spend half their weekly income on food.
Three sets of parents showcase what it s like living with nine children or more on ITV s Britain s Biggest Families: 31 Kids And Counting The Pennies, which airs Thursday at 9pm.
Nicole and Joseph Sutton and their 11 children, from Cumbria, are on a food budget of up to £200-a-week, and admit they often don t have the spare funds for family days out, while parents-of-11 Ben and Zoe Sullivan, from Lossiemouth, Scotland, spend £300 of their £600 weekly income on their shopping bill.

“I contend that America is a religion…Our religious symbols are guns and dollar bills. We hold those symbols to be sacred,” the Rev. Dr. Emma Jordan-Simmons told me on inauguration day. We were discussing the role religion played in the January 6th insurrection. Jordan-Simmons runs Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR), which focuses on overcoming social injustice through interfaith efforts that embrace active non-violence.

The Founding Myth and Christian Nationalism Intersect

“I contend that America is a religion…Our religious symbols are guns and dollar bills. We hold those symbols to be sacred,” the Rev. Dr. Emma Jordan-Simmons told me on inauguration day. We were discussing the role religion played in the January 6th insurrection. Jordan-Simmons runs Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR), which focuses on overcoming social injustice through interfaith efforts that embrace active non-violence.
“One does not have to be a Christian to be a white supremacist,” she went on. “And I would dare say that those who were among that crowd on January 6th had a lot in common. And though you saw the flag, the Christian flag, and you saw the cross, there was a lot more for people to bond over. They’d have had everything to do with what it meant to be American and what it meant to be white.”
