"It's like a perfect tsunami of absolute abject misery", local MP Ian Byrne said.

A Tesco store in Liverpool has started directing shoplifters to food banks rather than prosecuting them as the cost-of-living crisis starts to bite.

Sharp rises in inflation this year will leave many people with a choice between heating and eating this winter, with no end in sight.

An analysis by the Institute for Fiscal Studies has revealed that the poorest 10 per cent of households face a rate of inflation that is three points higher than the wealthiest 10 per cent.

It means more pensioners having to choose between heating and eating, more people unable to afford everyday items and more families struggling to put food on the table.

One Tesco store has stopped prosecuting shoplifters because the crisis has become so acute.

They have started redirecting them to the food bank instead.

Since you are here

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
