Boris Johnson has admitted the Government is failing to help families struggling with the cost of living as he was told of a pensioner who rides the buses all day to keep warm.
In a car crash television interview, the Prime Minister struggled to set out what extra help 77-year-old Elsie was entitled to so she could afford to eat more than once a day.
His jarring response to the London pensioner’s plight was that he brought in the freedom bus pass when he was the capital’s Mayor so she could ride around for free.
