Good Morning Britain viewers were informed of the latest inflation figures during Wednesday's show as Susanna Reid halted the programme for some breaking news.
During Wednesday's instalment of Good Morning Britain, Susanna Reid halted the programme to deliver some breaking news.
She noted the significance of the increase, saying: "It's being seen as a significant rise after inflation fell to a three-year low of 1.7% the month before. Higher gas and electricity prices are being blamed." The programme shifted focus to correspondent Nitya Rajan at a community kitchen in Wallsend addressing the cost-of-living crisis where they serve approximately 221 meals per week, frequented mainly by pensioners, reports the Mirror.
He expressed the struggles faced by pensioners, commenting: "Pensioners are already struggling with the cost of living crisis. More rises, how much more can people take? It's getting to that point where people are struggling so much."One woman admitted to layering up with multiple cardigans and jumpers indoors due to her dislike of the cold, while a man expressed his frustration with the government, calling them a "joke".
