A single dad-of-three says he is eating the leftovers of what he makes his children for dinner in order to survive as the cost-of-living crisis continues to eat into Scots families' finances.
Dean Ramsay says he often goes to bed "absolutely drained" because he doesn't know how he'll survive the next day after his food, energy and fuel bills nearly doubled in recent months. The dad, from Denny, Falkirk, told STV News' Scotland Tonight programme he was dreading his next gas bill after turning on the heating to keep his kids cosy.
He said: "I miss sitting down with the kids and cooking a meal for everyone rather than just for them, because they are always asking me why I’m not eating. I’ll be eating the excess of what I’ve made them – a few chips and a few chicken nuggets in a wee bowl.
