The cost of living has been a huge crisis for several months now and is just getting worse as the weeks go by, and is going to get so much worse due to the Ukrainian invasion. High levels of immediate government action is required now to avoid catastrophe.
That's it. It's that simple.
I call on the Government to avert this catastrophe.
