Last week, the Bank of England announced inflation is set to soar to more than 13 per cent and that we’ll enter a recession later this year.
On the day this was announced, both the Prime Minister and Chancellor were on holiday and nowhere to be seen. For millions of people struggling to make ends meet across the UK, including here in Scotland, things look bleak.
Make no mistake, this is a national emergency. Millions of people are already struggling and it’s going to get worse as summer turns to winter.
