Jeremy Hunt said the scheme to cap household energy bills will be cut back
People in Mansfield say they are "fed up" with politics and that Liz Truss' Government is not doing enough to support the most vulnerable amid more U-turns on her economic plans. The newly appointed Chancellor, Jeremy Hunt, says that a planned income tax cut will not be going ahead and that a scheme to cap household energy bills will be cut back.
"I'm not getting enough support at the moment and it's really difficult because I'm actually cutting back on what I eat. My family always tell me off saying I should eat more but food is so expensive, and healthier stuff is dearer than the junk food so if they want people eating healthier they should look at that."
He had until recently been living with his younger sister, but says that he no longer wanted to "put on her." Speaking about the current political situation, Stephen Cook said: "We didn't get to say anything about Liz Truss being Prime Minister and they are supposed to be the servants of the people, but it just feels like they're doing what they want without ever asking the people.
"I'm on the streets at the minute because I got to the position where I just couldn't be putting on my little sister anymore. She's a single mum and I'm her elder brother so I should be looking after my little sister, not the other way around." Will Marsh, 66, who lives in the Ladybrook area, said: "I did vote for Boris Johnson at the last election but I don't think I'll even bother voting next time. No matter who is in charge, they never seem to keep to their promises.
