As a small working-class charity we completely agree with @NiallGlynn . There's always been a cost of living crisis for working-class people and getting back to 'normal' isn't good enough. This blog should be required reading during #SmallCharityWeek and beyond.
Ever wondered who will get to decide when the cost of living crisis is over?💭
A short new blog post from @NiallGlynn on the cost of living crisis and something that should be worrying more of us.
