In millions of households up and down the country tonight, there are people worrying about how to afford their next food shop. In millions of others, the red bills in brown envelopes are stacking up.

More are worrying about how long they will have to wait for the operation they desperately need, or the social care they can’t arrange for their loved one, or the flammable cladding on the side of their home.
