Labour’s Shadow Secretary of State for Wales Jo Stevens, responding to the New Trussell Trust findings says:
“It is completely wrong that people are having to skip meals because they can’t afford to buy food. It is completely wrong that people have to turn off their heating because they cannot heat their homes.
This is a Conservative cost of living crisis. A crisis made in Downing Street.
In just a couple of weeks’ time, it’ll get worse because of national insurance rises and gas and electricity price hikes. The numbers on peoples’ payslips will go down and the numbers on their bills will go up.
The Tory Chancellor could begin to undo the damage he’s done in his Spring mini budget next week by cancelling his national insurance rise for a start.”
