Gordon Brown demands emergency budget as Truss and Sunak bicker over cost of living help

Brown has criticised the lack of action from the Tories on support for those on lowest incomes

FORMER prime minister Gordon Brown has demanded the UK Government come up with an emergency budget before a “financial timebomb” in October pushes millions into poverty. 

After a new report commissioned by Brown suggested Government help has failed to address households’ needs, he said the Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss must agree to emergency measures “this week”.
