An activist has taken the cost of living crisis the UK is facing into his own hands, by bringing back his Step Up For Scousers campaign.
Actor and writer Ellis Howard set up the campaign back in 2020, after 322 Conservative MPs voted against a motion in Parliament that called for the poorest children in the country to be given free school meal vouchers across the half-term holiday. But the "outrage" 25-year-old Ellis felt during this new crisis has made him take a "step up" once again to help those most in need.
Ellis, from Norris Green, told the ECHO : "This is the second time I have launched the campaign, the first time was around when the 322 conservative MPs voted against feeding the school kids. I was so shocked and outraged, I had been doing quite a bit of work with food charities like some of the ones who worked alongside Marcus Rashford during when he was speaking out about how terrible it was.
