In some of Merseyside's most deprived areas, a large majority of people are cutting back on what food they can buy.
Harrowing new polling shows that for the constituencies of Bootle and Liverpool Walton, six in ten people are having to limit the amount they usually spend on food as the cost of living catastrophe intensifies.
New data from the TUC (Trade's Union Congress) has today revealed that one in seven people in the UK are skipping meals or going hungry. More than two fifths (44%) of Brits are having to cut back on food spending, with the problem more acute in seats like Liverpool Walton and Bootle where six in ten people are affected.
