Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said she fears “the worst is yet to come” in the cost-of-living crisis with the worry that it could push many more "over the poverty line."
Speaking at the STUC Congress in Aberdeen, the FM told trade unionists the rise in the cost of living was hitting the poorest in society hard.
In recent months, rising inflation alongside an increase to national insurance contributions, rising shopping bills as well as the biggest spike in energy prices in living memory, has caused many household to understandably panic about their financial situation.
