https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1505102555742982148.html
In case this thread is too long for you this is a summary. We’re in a crisis. Energy and food costs are going to increase the cost of living of low income families by 14% a year, or £300 a month. More than 70% of households will go into debt unless they cut their spending, a lot.
