A struggling Liverpool mum says she and her husband are cutting back on their own meals so that their children can eat as the cost of living crisis in the city intensifies.
Kallie Speariett, from Clubmoor, said she and her husband are currently having to reduce what they eat so that they can continue to give their two children proper meals. The family have a household income of around £18,000.
Kallie, who helped to set up a food pantry for other struggling families in the Clubmoor area, was speaking to BBC Radio 4 today about the need to extend free school meals to more households amid soaring inflation and energy costs.
