A disabled mum has turned to using a cooking technique from the war in order to cope with the soaring cost of living. Jennifer Jones, 41, has spoken of her struggles amid the rising cost of gas and electricity.
She has seen her gas bills rise by £600, similar to others across the country, and predicts her electricity bills will treble but she is yet to receive a letter about this. She fears other families could be plunged into poverty due to the rising cost of living.
In February, Ofgem announced the 54 per cent energy price cap rise which came into force on April 1. The increase saw bills rise for UK customer's on default tariffs paying by direct debit.
