Dawn Scott says the government should have stuck to a plan to freeze household energy bills for two years
The announcement means the new chancellor has unwound almost all of Prime Minister Liz Truss's key measures announced in September's mini-budget.Dawn Scott said her household food budget was £20 a day on essentials alone, with long-term energy bill worries a further headache."I've not put the heating on yet, I know it's going to clock up and clock up - we're just putting extra clothing on to keep warm.
"We're going to struggle through winter, we're going to be paying the debts off through the summer and we'll be back to square one again come October next year.""We've got a mortgage, we've got two young children, obviously they both cost a fair amount," said Kim Brough. "Help with childcare is really important, you look at how high childcare costs are in the UK at the moment compared to other countries at the moment, we have very little support," she said.
I reckon parents outside of York might feel the same, depends how warm that bubble is.
