A disabled man in Liverpool has been left with the heart-breaking choice of either heating his home or powering the electric wheelchair that he relies on to get around.
The cost of living crisis is forcing people across the country to make horrendous choices as energy bills and the price of food and supplies continues to spiral. Many vulnerable people are being pushed into poverty.
Liverpool West Derby Member of Parliament Ian Byrne has revealed the details of what he described as 'one of the most heart-breaking calls' that he has ever had from a constituent. Mr Byrne said: "A man has explained to me how the cost of living crisis and the huge increase in energy has left him choosing between heating his home or powering his electric wheelchair."
