Single mum living on one meal a day 'might need to start begging'

A single mum who is finding it near impossible to feed her family has admitted she might need to start begging.

Kelly Thomson, 43, is eating just one meal a day at the moment and has been hospitalised twice for malnutrition with just £40 per week to feed her family, reports the Mirror.

Although Kelly's universal credit covers her £1,300 monthly rent and a few other costs, she said she has just £160 a month left for everything else and she says the 10.1 per cent inflation rate will cripple them.
