Chancellor Rachel Reeves is being urged to go “much further” to help households struggling with the cost-of-living crisis – with the SNP accusing the Labour Government of having “abandoned the ‘squeezed middle’”.

Kirsty Blackman, the SNP’s economy spokeswoman at Westminster, raised concerns that a package of measures expected to be announced this week will not go far enough to help most families.
