More than 2million adults in the UK have gone without food for a whole day over the past month because they cannot afford to eat, according to a report.
Thinktank the Food Foundation said its latest food poverty report found one in seven adults - 7.3 million – now fall under the ‘food-insecure’ bracket - up from 4.7 million in January.
It also reported a 57% jump in the proportion of households cutting back on food or skipping meals.
