Scots 'fear they won't cope with cost-of-living crisis' as Tories 'refuse to act'

The Tories have been accused of refusing to act on the cost-of-living crisis

NEARLY half of Scottish households are “not confident” they will be able to maintain their current lifestyle in the face of the cost-of-living crisis, according to new research which found some eight million people have “nothing left” to cut back on.

A UK-wide study by Legal and General found the country was “not levelling up” – the professed guiding mission of Boris Johnson’s Government – as Londoners were the most confident of all Britons they would be able to keep up their current household expenditure.
