Young mum Tamara Beattie walks about shopping centres with her two-year-old to keep warm as there’s not enough money to put the heating on at home.
Her and her husband both work but they are struggling with soaring bills. Maria Brown is petrified of what the future holds.
At the age of 63, she earns just £16,000 a year and is considering getting a second job as her family can’t afford energy and food prices. The Tories once had respect for people in work like Tamara and Maria who were willing to graft to provide for their family and better their communities.
