Episode Details

The cost of living crisis is crushing families across the UK, even those who are working. Two sisters in Greater Manchester show just how deep the struggle goes: Nicola, on benefits, can’t afford rent, food, or her son’s disability needs, while Karen, working part-time with her partner full-time, can’t even afford their wedding after three years. But hope is emerging—Nicola got help from debt advisors and plans to return to work. Meanwhile, the government’s rolling out relief: slashing prices on staples like beans and oil, cutting VAT on kids’ meals and attractions, freezing fuel duty, and boosting mileage rates. It’s a desperate scramble to keep households afloat as prices soar.
