Рет қаралды 126,942
Күн бұрынSky's Ashish Joshi has been to Blackpool where many residents have to decide between heating or eating, as the cost of living crisis continues to hit the Lancashire town.
The government says it is acting to help the most vulnerable communities in areas like Blackpool.
A spokesman said: "We are already tackling health disparities in the North West of England - including working to reduce drugs-related deaths in Liverpool and Blackpool, supporting struggling families to give children in the poorest communities the best start in life, and addressing inequalities among some of the region's most vulnerable groups, such as homeless people, prison leavers and sex workers."
He added: "We will set out further action through a white paper later this year."

Same I understand companies need and want to make profit and I’m all for that. But all the energy companies particularly the big 6 complaining that the costs of energy have gone up and will have to raise the prices. However I’m annoyed that there claiming this however are making record profits. Come the next price cap increase we need to properly asses at what price would these companies not make excess profit

There are rules they have to follow. In a select committee I saw the heads of energy companies explain that they couldn’t just pass on their profits to people with cheaper prices as their legal responsibility was to maximise profit for their shareholders. I’m not saying energy companies are saints but the government can do more than them.

The poor man in the beginning will perish and die before this year's end if he doesn't get help from the authorities. How can it be so dire in the UK, a country in the West? We are experiencing somewhat higher energy prices in Sweden but not by much and our energy prices has always been lower than most countries so we are ok. Everyone eats as usual and no one is even remotely close to shutting down the heating here, the price of food is pretty much the same, our equivalent of the NHS is working excellently and there are no backlog or queues for surgeries. The inflation is somewhat higher but that goes for all countries right now, it has not had any effect because the government is handling it in order to minimize the consequences of it. Nowhere in Western Europe does it look even close as bad as it does in the UK and I wonder why, the people of the UK probably do too so please scientifically analyse it and explain it, Sky News.

Its bad here because our government are trying to take us back to the 1800's when elistism and class segregation was rife. The Conservative party are only interested in the rich and really do not care about the vunerable and the poor or those on lower wages. They have only one slogan and that is "We are alright so fu*k the working masses" They have always had this view and these days they are more cruel and cold hearted than ever. I am British, but I am ashamed of my country. Boris Johnson and his party have made us the laughing joke of the western world and they will not suffer. It's only the working classes who continue to suffer because the Conservative party have no hearts and no compassion. There is no science needed in the analysis. It's plain simple cruelty.

If gov can narrow the gap between food waste from best by foods/ expired food from Supermarket giants and foodbanks the problem will be solved. Food to be expired should be donated or "bought" lije with tax write off. BUT money and greed holds it back!!!

many people deliberately choose poverty. I know it's shocking, but no one forces us to drink, smoke and take drugs. no one stands between us and getting a job. no one is stopping us from working a little overtime on the weekend. simple steps that work.

Why is Scott Benton the Tory MP for Blackpool not doing anything about this? Oh I forgot he is a Tory and the Tories really dont give a damn about the vunerable and poor or those who are struggling. They just aren't interested. It begs the question why People vote for them, but I guess tory supporters just think no further than their own selfish desires.

It’s getting bad here in Australia now too. Rising food, energy and petrol prices plus rent and mortgages. I don’t know how much more people can take. Crime is rising too. So much pressure on people. The latest over 30% increase in electricity is hitting hard plus gas increasing too. Life is very hard for everyone but the rich. I’ve never seen it so tough.

We don't need to build houses worth 300 hundred plus pounds. We need to build social Housing, affordable homes. Universal credit need to be increased for people to " survive" not just for families either. If mp s want to know what it like to live on universal credit. Ask them to live on it for a "year" and to work where wages are like voluntary paid expenses only income. Then tell the country " work Pays!!. Lol.
