Government has not ‘woken up’ to cost-of-living crisis

Shadow cabinet minister Louise Haigh says the government has not "woken up" to the scale of Britain’s cost-of-living crisis.

The Labour MP said that people's national insurance, energy bills and council tax are all going up whilst wages, pensions and benefits are not.

The shadow transport secretary reiterated her party's call for a windfall tax on the profits of North Sea oil and gas producers to help alleviate the pressure on UK households.
