A hard up mum has told how she is going without food and is unable to buy her kids any Christmas presents.
Single mum-of-four Victoria Walker has been living off her children's leftovers as the cost of living crisis hammers her family. The desperate mum has been filling up on cups of tea and hardly ever uses the heating as food prices and energy bills continue to soar.
Victoria, from Bath, told ITV News: “Unless I really have to, I’ll eat. But I fill myself up with tea and coffee in the daytime. I would like the children to eat, and if they leave any leftovers, I tend to have the leftovers."
