Boris Johnson’s government has run out ideas and has nothing to offer millions of voters being hit by the cost of living crisis, poverty campaigners have said.
An alliance of trade unions and campaigning organisations said the government’s agenda as set out in the Queen’s Speech would do nothing for those facing the pressure of higher energy bills and rising shop prices.
Meanwhile, the boss of Tesco warned that Britain is being hit by “real food poverty” for the first time in a generation.
