LIVE: Cost of living crisis - latest updates as families continue to feel the squeeze

The cost of living crisis continues to dominate the headlines. Families across the country - including thousands in Greater Manchester - are feeling the squeeze.

On Saturday, protesters across the country took to the streets to demonstrate, calling on the government to take action and save households from despair. Hundreds were out in force in Manchester city centre.

On Sunday, Shadow business secretary Jonathan Reynolds said the government 'hasn’t done enough' to tackle rising energy bills and the wider cost of living crisis.

Speaking on Sky’s Sophy Ridge on Sunday about proposals for investing in nuclear energy, he said: "I think none of that should be used as a smokescreen to get away from the real issue, which is, right now, the cost of living is absolutely extreme.

"Energy bills are a huge part of that, and the government hasn’t done enough.

"There’s no way they can say they have done enough – the scheme they put forward, I think, where the Chancellor has offered to lend us our own money and pay it back over five years, is completely unrealistic and doesn’t meet the scale of the challenge.

"What we want to do of course is that windfall tax, offer people real support – £600 for over one-third of households off their energy bills – because that’s the scale of what is required.

"Whatever the long-term energy strategy the Government will unveil, it can’t get away from the fact they’ve got to take some action now to help people."
