More Britons are feeling a cost of living squeeze, a survey has found, as the price of every day items continues to soar.
According to a survey from the Office for National Statistic (ONS), which received thousands of responses, around 76 per cent of adults said their cost of living had increased over the last month.
It represents a significant rise on the 69 per cent recorded in the final two weeks of January.
The most frequently reported reasons continued to be:
- rising food shop prices (90 per cent)
- rising energy bills (77 per cent)
- increases to the price of fuel (69 per cent)
It comes as the Lib Dems are leading the charge to put pressure on the government to publish the full, unredacted version of Sue Gray’s report into the No 10 Partygate scandal.
A “humble address” motion has been backed by all 13 of the party’s MPs, who are calling for the support of others to ensure there are “no more cover-ups and no more lies”.
