Millions in Britain are having to cut down or skip meals amid the cost of living crisis, according to an anti-poverty charity.
The Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) found 5.7 million low-income households don't have enough money for food, which it called a "horrendous new normal".
It said "exceptionally high food inflation" and inadequate government assistance was to blame, forcing those on the lowest incomes to make impossible choices about how often they eat and which foods they buy.
Around 7 million households were going without items such as food, heating or basic toiletries, it found. Meanwhile, three-quarters of homes on Universal Credit - the UK government's social security payment - had gone hungry or scrimped on meals in the last 30 days.
