Scotland's First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, has taken to Twitter today (August 8) stating "action is needed now as the "cost of living crisis is worsening by the day."
The FM called for an emergency meeting with the Prime Minister and Heads of devolved Government Council as she urged the UK government to help.
In a letter by Ms Sturgeon, she urged the PM to move a proposed meeting between the heads of the UK’s Governments from September to this week.
