What kind of society are we living in where people are relying on food banks, donations and yet they are still struggling because of rising costs? Then we have the biggest companies in the world announcing record-breaking profits and still putting their prices up. It makes me feel sick to my stomach.Small businesses going under, families facing impossible choices over food or heat, the elderly in cold homes. I’m ashamed to be a customer of British Gas right now.
