People living in Manchester are seeing their wages fall by an average of over £130 a month due to the cost of living - as a new report details how the crisis is widening the north-south divide.
As inflation continues to soar across the country, it's the North of England that is bearing the brunt, particularly in towns and cities in Lancashire and Greater Manchester.
In Manchester, inflation stood at 10.1 per cent in April 2022, compared to 8.8 per cent in London and 9.3 per cent in Oxford. In Wigan, inflation is even higher than in Manchester at 10.4 per cent.
